2011 Grips

2011 grips define the pistol's modern ergonomics and high-capacity advantage. Unlike traditional 1911s, 2011s feature a modular, one-piece polymer grip frame that integrates the trigger guard, mainspring housing, and accommodates double-stack magazines. This innovative design is fundamental to the 2011's dominance in competitive shooting disciplines like USPSA and IPSC.

Engineered for Performance & Capacity:

  • High Capacity: The primary benefit of the 2011 grip is its ability to house double-stack magazines, dramatically increasing ammunition capacity for extended strings of fire without reloads.

  • Ergonomic Customization: The polymer grip modules are often interchangeable, allowing shooters to tailor the grip's circumference, contour, and texture to their specific hand size and preference. This personalized fit enhances comfort, promotes consistent indexing, and significantly aids in recoil management.

  • Recoil Control: The full-circumference grip provides a more secure purchase, which, combined with the polymer's ability to absorb some recoil impulse, leads to flatter shooting and quicker sight recovery.

  • Integrated Design: These grips seamlessly integrate the magazine well and often have pre-molded or textured surfaces (or are ready for stippling) to provide superior purchase, even with sweaty hands.

An optimized 2011 grip is critical for achieving the speed and control demanded by modern competition, providing a stable, comfortable, and high-capacity foundation for peak performance.
