Midway's got them up for $23 and change, who knows how it will be marked up here in Canada. Probably not available until late December this year or early next year. The indent looks interesting...wonder if it's designed for right-hand shooters to index the left hand (that fleshy bit of your palm where your thumb is connected to....no idea what the scientific term is).

Not a bad price at all... they look pretty nice to me.
That indentation/scallop on the grip was designed to aid in accessing the mag release button a bit easier esp. helpful for shooters with smaller hands/thumb.

they look nice to me - I'd try a set if I wasn't sporting a nice set of wood

I usually throw a set of VZs on my 1911s...but when I saw the title of this thread I thought for sure I'd found a replacement, however I must admit that at first glance they don't look like my cup of tea. I've found that Magpul's texturing in their rifle products to be top notch, with a number of different textures used, depending on the application. The bumps here look a little odd, and that mag release groove concerns me. I prefer a flat grip that allows me flexibility on thumb placement, and even with small hands I don't have an issue reaching the mag release. I do know, though, that Magpul put a lot of thought into their products so I'll reserve final judgment until I hear first-hand how they work.
Of all the textures they could have gone with...have to admit I'm surprised they ended up looking like this.
I could have gone for a set of FRAG-type textured magpul grips, maybe. That would probably have worked well in polymer.
