I'm in search for some new grips for one of my 1911's. My Colt Commander is wearing its stock grips that measure out to about ..252 and they're perfect.
so far i've tried grips that are too thin (and flat) that are .162 and .170 in thickness. I've also tried grips that are too thick that measure out at . 296 and .304. ideally i'd like to find grips that are in the .250 ish range. unfortunately i've been unable to find very many manufacturers who post grip thicknesses. I'd also like them to be flat bottomed to match up to the magwell thats installed. Can anyone suggest any grips that are in the thickness i'm looking for? Material doesn't matter. thanks |

thanks for the info. It feels like the grips on my springfield loaded are thicker than those of my colt. Can't measure right now as the Springer is in for warranty work.
another thing i'm trying to find is grips that have no flat edges on the front and back. i'm looking for a continual curve, something like this (not necessarily that texture) 
(not my pic) found that pic while searching for grips. whoever the owner of the pic is, didn't mention any details about those grips. |

Okay, Hogue makes one of the very few walnut 1911 grips that come to a sharp edge front and back. I sold a set I had, and it's one of those sales that haunts you...they were double-diamond checkered with 20 LPI checkering.
