WWII US M1911 / 1911 .45 Wooden Grips - Reproduction

installs perfectly, however if you have a mag plate, will need to trim slightly to fit

DO NOT BUY THESE GRIPS!!I purchased these grips for my 1943 dated 1911A1 to replace the originals that I want to keep in good shape.Upon inspection of the left grip panel I knew something was going to be off right from the go. The cut out for the slide stop/saftey plunger was not big enough and hte slide stop rubbed against the grip. That would be an easy fix with a little sandpaper and a dremel. However once I tried to fit the right panel i noticed that the holes do not line up with the grip posts. They are off just slightly on length and angle. Essentially I would have to bore out the holes which would make the grips sloppy.Then on the bottom of the grip it hangs below the magazine well. Again this would have to be taken care of with sand paper and a dremel.All of that being said these will be returned. The description stated "These are based on originals so we cannot confirm that they will fit all replica models or require minor changes."Then below that it states:"GRIPS MAY NOT FIT:5 model 1911s, colt service model/full sizeAll Standard Colt M1911 and M1911A1etc...Wont fit standard M1911A1 models???? If its based off the original then it absolutely should fit the Colt 1911 and A1.The amount of grinding and fitting needed to make these work will make these grips absolutely trash.

I have a Turkish 1911 (it's my first 1911 and I'm not able to spend $2,000 on a handgun right now) and these grips fit really well. They were slightly off in terms of where the screw holes are located, but honestly not by much. I was able to get them on and secure really easily.

These are made from great looking wood, beautifully etched(?) I'm not sure how they were cut. I have a Tisas Turk manufactured 1911. The grip holes lined up fine but I had to relieve the diameters on the backside of the grips for them to lay flat. Another adjustment was to the top backside of the left hand grip where it goes over the spring tube that holds tension on the slide release and safety.None of the alterations affected the outer imagery of the grips and the only tools required were a couple mini files and sand paper.Speaking as a Texan, these grips not only look great, they feel good in the hand too. I highly recommend these to anybody looking for such things.

The grips do not fit on the frame of Colt 45.

I like these wood grips better than the stock plastic grips and the $11.00 Magpul 1911 grips. The 1911 really fits my hand perfectly now. I just discovered 1911A1 TISA Turkish made Colt replicas. I love 1911s now!. They feel perfect in my hand. The wood grips make the pistol look better and handle better. They're a bit thicker than the stock grips. They're worth the $25 price tag. I recommend this selller.

These grips are magnificently beautiful but did not fit my Garsin 1911, it took 2 hours of gentle and careful work with drummel to realign the holes for the screws from the inside. Grips were too tall and definitely did not fit the ambidextrous thumb safety nor did it have the capability to adapt the right side safety lever extension. 2 hours of precarious work to make it work. Good idea to have at hand a set of screws with large head in case the holes are slightly larger… although I put in the time to make it work, I would NOT buy it again.. to stressful. The carving machine spins at several thousand rpm’s and easily eats wood… unless you are willing to throw the grips away, don’t try to make it fit..

These grip panels did not fit properly. Perhaps I missed it in the description but I would not fit either side because of my safety levers. I have an Ami safety and both sides needed to be cut down a lot. The holes did not line up properly either so I had to open them up a bit as well. I tried them on several of my 1911s and it was the same thing with all of them. I figured since I modified them to try and get them to fit, I would t even attempt to ask for a refund. I ended up trashing them. Sucks wasting money, especially nowadays. Do not buy.
