Hi Guys.  I'ma 1911 newbie and need some info/help.    I own a 9mm RO elite champion.  The factory grips are the "thin G10 grips"
I would like to change them out for a hogue wrap around rubber grip.  I realize these are thicker, so do I have to buy new screws AND bushings, or can I just swap grips?
Finally what type of tool do I need to take off the factory grips?  I think they are torque screws, but I'm not sure of the size(I don't have a torque set). I added a pic for reference
Thanks in advance

I think all I did was swap grips and screws, bushings stayed.

Same exact grips, they ended up on a ATI 1911-22.

Only need to swap bushings is if you are going to thin grips and you have std bushings installed.
