1911 grips

[marcooool]

I enjoyed shooting my 1911s and then moved to shooting Shadow 2 a lot. Today I decided to try my 1911s and then I found I am not getting used to the thinner single stack grips. It just doesn’t feel comfortable. Does anyone know what kind of grips I can get to improve it? I want to try it on my Sig stainless target elite first. Thanks.

All my 1911s get vz grips. They have many options available to choose from like more or less agressive texture, thumb notches, many colors, etc

Alumagrips on my Dan Wesson PM-9.

Thanks, EDJ/DanRR. Are these bulky and give me better grip feel? I need something that gives me feeling of double stack.

Try some good ole Pachmayr wrap arounds.

Another grip to consider is this:

They're very inexpensive. I've tried/used many others, but these have remained my favorite grip over the years. They're rubber, but harder than Pachmayrs, and not as sticky. They're "standard" thickness, and quite durable, though I will admit I bought a little stockpile of them some time ago, in case Colt's ever stop making them.

These may be what you want. 20% fatter than standard thickness. If not in stock, contact them they would probably order you one.

I have big mitts and the Alumagrip are very grippy.

Wood grips tend to be fatter, but slippier.

+1 for VZ g10 grips. LOK grips are great as well at a lower price. They look slick and feel goos in the hand. Both make CZ grips as well

Pearce finger grips with aluminum grip panels on top of the Pearce.

You could get some grips off Etsy I got someone to print out some Spartan grips for my 1911

Hogue & Altamont make 1911 grips.

I like the Hogue wrap around rubber grips.

 

[marcooool]

I bought this one. Feels good, close to double stack feeling. The finish of rubber part is not top notch but does the job. Thanks for everyone.

years ago when I did my first 1911, a fellow had some steel spacers that went under the original colt ones, about 3/16" thick I guess, and the edges where polished, look good and felt good.
I may have had to use longer grip screws, don't remember. I had the gun about 80% hand engraved by a master at that.
Some where I should have a picture of that gun, havn't seen it in yrs, long before modern cameras.
