Grips 1911 / 2011
The grips on your 1911 or 2011 pistol are the primary point of contact between you and the firearm, making them paramount for control, comfort, and ultimately, shooting performance. For competitive shooters in USPSA, IDPA, and IPSC, customizing your grips is essential to achieve a secure, consistent hold that directly translates to faster, more accurate shooting.
Tailoring Your Hand-to-Pistol Connection:
1911 Grip Panels: Traditional 1911s use two separate grip panels. These are available in a vast array of materials, including durable G10, classic wood, sleek aluminum, and various synthetics. Textures range from aggressive checkering for maximum purchase to smoother, more decorative options. Selecting the right material and texture optimizes hand fit, absorbs recoil, and ensures stable indexing.
2011 Grip Modules: The 2011 platform features a single, full-circumference polymer grip module. This design accommodates high-capacity, double-stack magazines and offers various contours and textures. The modularity allows shooters to swap grip frames to perfectly match hand size, enhancing ergonomic fit, improving recoil management, and providing a natural pointing feel.
Choosing the right grips significantly improves your pistol's handling. A proper fit enhances comfort, reduces perceived recoil, and ensures a consistent, confident hold, all critical factors for achieving peak performance in dynamic shooting disciplines.
