Phenolic grips for compact or full size 1911. These grips are polished smooth. Phenolic laminate is a tough material that is made from layers of canvas, linen or paper and phenolic resin.
These grips are smooth finished. The grips are shaped in the traditional 1911 style with the top of the left side panel slightly covering the plunger tube.
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.
The Square Bottom Magwell grips are being built with two different profiles to better match the typical shape of most of the magwells available. The Continuous Profile is a constant arc across the top of the grip panel from the front edge to the back edge. This style is similar to the profile of the Smith & Alexander, Springfield Armory and numerous other magwell makers. The Flat Center Profile has arches that rise up to the top of the grip from both the front and back edge and then have a flat section about 1/2" wide in the center of the grip panel. This profile is similar to magwells by Ed Brown and Kimber. If you have a magwell built by a manufacturer other than listed, check your magwell to see if it is a constant arc or if the magwell has a flat spot in the center of the grip panel top.
The Bobtail grips have bevels on the bottom and cover the mainspring housing pin. A relief cut is made on the back of the grip panels for the raised head of the pin.
The Wilson Combat magwells are typically a narrower magwell and we recommend using a standard beveled grip panel with Wilson Combat magwells.
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. We do have a liberal return policy and can often help to select materials that will have the colors you'd like.
