Anyone know of some very thin, preferebly non-wood, 1911 grips?

Alumagrips makes a thin version that works quite well.

The canvas micarta VZ grips are thinner then traditional wood stocks. I put a set on my new Springfield. Love them.

Alumagrips. Very functional.

Ivory works see e.g. Spresser but I'd go Micarta.

Navradex makes a thin grip grip for 1911 - Micarta - Look in www.brownells.com

Another vote for the AlumaGrips.

I have a standard thickness pair and love them.


NOTE: Be advised that the use of thinner than standard grips quite often necessitates the replacement of the standard grip screw bushing with ones specially made for thinner grips. Brownells and AlumaGrips have them in stock.

Navidrex makes some slim ones in micarta as previously mentioned. Also, the slimmest you are likely to find would be the AFS Tech, although these are rosewood panels.

Another Recommendation for the Alumagrips.

These beauties of mine are wearing Alumagrips, specifically the Tactical Checkered (half-smooth, half-checkered) in slimline thickness (they both now use slimline grip screw bushings) in color black (duh) and cut for the Bobtail grip:

A couple more closer shots, with the third one sort of showing how thin they are:

Chip McCormick also offers slim grips in wood for both full aize and O-model 1911's.

Send them a design and they will etch them

That's a damn attractive setup lunde. I'd be too afraid of scuffing them to take them out shoot them! :p
