Our Taurus line of grips are modified from standard 1911 grips to account for the differences between the Taurus PT1911 and standard 1911 grips. These grips are designed to be a direct replacement of the factory grips, using the factor screws. All Taurus grips include a right side amibextrous safety cut and are relieved at the top to clear the Taurus safety levers.
These grips are manufactured with Dymondwood, a laminated wood that uses phenolic resins, heat and pressure to create a dense and strong material.
These grips are cut with a sharp double diamond checkering at 20 lines per inch with a smooth border surrounding the checkering. The grips are shaped in the traditional 1911 style with the top of the left side panel slightly covering the plunger tube and the bottoms of the grip panel beveled. These grips leave the mainspring housing pin exposed unless the covered pin option is selected.
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.
These are production grips so the grips you get 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 used to manufacture the grips, the colors and lay up of the colored layers within the grips my vary giving a different visual appearance of the grips.
