COMPOSITE LE GRIPS Hogue’s popular Laser Enhanced (LE) 1911 grips are now available with precisioncut G10 or checkered wood laminate materials. In addition, each variation is available for both Government and Officer’s Model 1911s. These LE Grips offer three operating modes—steady, flashing and “stealth target”—and four user-selectable brightness levels. Two common CR2032 batteries hidden under the grip on the non-laser side power the unit. (hogueinc.com)

In other words, it’s designed to be light on recoil. Depending on the pistol used, velocity figures range from 860 to 900 fps with a power factor between 126 and 132, making this load legal for all USPSA competitions. Fifty-round ammo boxes are currently available. (sigsauer.com)
