Phenolic grips for compact or full size 1911. These grips have five vertical flutes with fine horizontal grooves machined into the grips. Phenolic laminate is a tough material that is made from layers of canvas, linen or paper and phenolic resin.
These grips are built with a typical 1911 thickness that fully fits the hand without being overly thick. Grip thickness runs between .255" and .265" thick at the center of the grip.
Grips are available with or without an ambidextrous safety cut. If you're unsure whether you need an ambi cut, click the link on the left side of the page to learn more about the ambi cut.
We've added an option to the ordering to allow you to have the mainspring housing pin covered. This removes the rounded cutout on the bottom rear corner of the grips. We do provide a relief in the back of the grips to clear the rounded head of the mainspring housing pin that normally extends beyond the surface of the frame. This option does not apply to Bobtail grips as all of the bobtail grips cover the mainspring housing pin.
These are production grips so the grips you receive will not be the individual pair shown in the photo. Our photos represent the type and general character of the material but due to variances in the material colors and layer thicknesses, the visual appearance of the grips may be different. Also note that colors shown of computer monitors can vary greatly, affecting the representative colors.
