Who in Canada sells a slimmer grip for a 1911A1 pattern pistol (mine's a Norc)? I have strange sized hands and with the stock grips my right thumb can't reach the mag or slide release. The pistol already has the flat mainspring housing on it.

I tried the search and couldn't find the info I was looking for.

Thanks all!
 
Grips wont help that much

Get a extended slide release and mag release...I put both on my colt and can drop mags and hit the slide all with one hand
 
I don't know of any Canadian suppliers of thin grips, but have never had issues bringing in grips from the US. PM me and I'll send you some links to US suppliers I have had good service from.

Ultra thin grips require short grip bushings. Your Nork has metric thead bushings. You will either have to bubba the existing bushings (file them down) or replace them with an oversized standard thread set and that will require you to purchase or borrow the appropriate tap. It's not as simple as purchasing the grips and slapping them on. The bushings and tap alone are going to run you close to $100 with shipping factored in (Ask me how I know this). You may want to discuss your options with your favorite gunsmith before purchasing your grips.
 
Pearce thin grips on my Norc 1911 .45 ACP and my STI Spartan 9mm 1911 Single stack. I've got small hands also! The Pearce Thin slabs can be 'retro-fitted' with finger groove panels, all part of a 'system'.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,

OP, there was a poll thread a while ago that asked if you could hit the mag release without shifting your grip. About half the guys cannot reach without rotating the gun slightly in their grip (me included), so don't feel that you are the only one who has the issue. I have never noticed that rotating the gun hurts my mag changes, but I am not a master level IDPA shooter, either.
