Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

You mean standard grips will not work on them? I thought they were the same, but I have never tried to change a pair.

Well he is sorta right............Mine had to be machined to fit the ambi safety and the grip screws.

Here's a pic......

Grip safety, I understand, if you got a set which was not machined for the safety. But grip screws? What? Are they using non-standard screws??

These fit no problem, the stock screws worked just fine.

Hogue

I also have a set of these on the way in the semi checkered, I don't foresee any issues as these pistols are built to mil spec.

1911 grips


However, it's always prudent to have spare bushings and screws on hand. My SA had a bushing on each side fall out while changing grips.

if you just want checkered double diamond black rubber, both kimber brand and hogue should work just fine.

I guess it was just the ones I bought then.........the screws were just a tad bit small/just a hair though.

Thanks for the replys, I really like the ones in the pic giving it a Warrior look but I dont want to go through the hassel of having to have them ground down. I wonder if the Kimber grips for the Warrior series need to be ground since they come with a ambi-safety?

Thanks

The Hogue palm swell grips I put on my PT1911 had to be trimed to allow the right side safety lever to move to the off position. A very quick & easy fix with the old x-acto knife. The screw holes lined up just like any other 1911.

The heads of the factory grip screws are oversize.

Funny, it never even occured to me to alter the grips.

I just bought a set of aftermarket grip screws and stored the Taurus screws with the removed grips.

If you order any grips that are specified for ambidextrous safety, they will fit the Taurus.
