    UPDATED! Para Ordnance 14-45 LDA Grips

    My Para Ordnance 14-45 LDA has a Houge wrap aroung grip. I am looking for the stock grips it came with from the factory. I tried putting standard 1911 grips on it and they definitely do not fit.
    That includes the single stack 1911 Para Ordnance grips.
    The fat magwell to accommodate the double stack magazine requires a grip specifically made for it.
    Thanks

    ***UPDATE

    So I went back to the gun store I bought the Para at. I thought I remembered they had another Double Stack Para like mine. Sure enough they had 2. I brought mine to compare the stock grips on the other two to mine with the Houge rubber wrap around grip that is just too big for my hand.
    He said, “why don’t we just swap them?”
    SWEET! Now I have the stock grips on my gun.
    I can definitely say that the Para Double stack 1911’s do not fit a standard 1911 grip. It looks completely proprietary to Para’s Double Stacks and extremely hard to find. I couldn’t find any aftermarket ones.

    Got it. Thanks. I updated my post to say standard 1911 grips, including the standard single stack grips for Para’s will not fit.

    However, grips for any Para double-stack 14-rounder will fit == it doesn't have to be for an LDA.

    But unlike Colt, who use the same size grip frame for the full-size and Commander models, Para used four frame sizes. The P13s are shorter than P14s, the P12s are shorter than the P13s, and the P10/Warthog is even shorter than that.

    Numrich has some: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-man...nance/p14-para

    Thanks for that info. Very helpful. I have seen the selection on Numrich. The problem is some have model numbers and some just say 1911. Since there isn’t a picture of the back of the grip, there is no way to tell if it is for a double stack. They all look like standard 1911 grips to me from the front.

    The link I posted takes you to the grips for a 14+1 round, full-size double stack. Don't look for "1911" -- look for "P14"

    These grips from Sarco may fit -- check the spacing on your screw holes: https://www.sarcoinc.com/para-compos...-action-grips/

    I saw those on Sarco. Apparently they are for the Para's that have the cutout in the frame for that tab that sticks out the back of the grip. My LDA doesn't have that.

    So you trim off the tab.
