I've been told the Wilson #429BG fits the government, and the Wilson #429BC fits the Commander and Officers, so you'll need the later.

I put a Wilson "drop in" on a New Agent, so it should work on the Defender. Needless to say, it doesn't really drop in, but with a little patient fitting works just fine.

What kind of "fitting" did you have to do? I've never messed with one before so I'm wondering if it's something I could do or if I'd have to get a gun smith to do it. |

I had a dim idea of how to do it from having built a 1911 years ago. Take a look at this video Grip Safety Install and I think you will have enough information. Mostly it is a case of doing a small amount of removal of metal with a file and then reassembling the gun several times. Maybe a lot of times. In any event, once you understand the relationship of the parts, it isn't really rocket science. One thing is for sure: the Wilson unit is a hell of an improvement over the stock grip that comes on the New Agent.

I put a Wilson one in my New Agent as well - years ago I had a Defender, and put one in that, too. Just to clarify, any fitting you'll do will be to the Wilson part - you don't need to do any filing to your actual Colt frame. Worst case, you screw up the Wilson part.
It's pretty easy, though. |
