These grips are great. They look great and the add amazing stability. On top of that I ordered these grips on Monday w/ standard shipping, they shipped Tuesday I got them Thursday. FANTASTIC SHIPPING!!

I usually don't write reviews because when I purchase something I expect it to be of quaility and performance. However after receiving these grips I was surprised to find the poor quality and workmanship from a Pachmayr product. The rubber inserts were very poorly bonded to the wooden parts, both screws that hold the Pachmayr logo to the grips were loose and the seam on the rubber finger grooves was very large and uncomfortable. the only good I can say of this product is they looked nice in the package.

I put these grips on and old 1911 and it really changed how I felt about the gun! They feel great and seem to even help accuracy!

I bought these grips, love the way they feel and the look. BUT, before you ever put them on your gun make sure you loctite the pachmyr emblem and the screw that goes into the back of it. The pachmyr emblem serves to hold the rubber grip to the wood grip. If you don't loctite the screw it will come loose, I've seen it happen on two guns. That small screw fits perfectly under the feed ramp on a 1911. If that happens the trigger won't work and a magazine will not insert. Will also need a littel dremel work if you have ambidextrius safety on a 1911.

I was unsure of the quality of these grips due to the price, but after I recieved them I was suprised. They make the gun feel like its custom made for my hand. Love these grips and at this price Ill be purchasing another set.

Came on time, look better than the picture, the rubber is high quality and feels very nice between the fingers, gives you extra support, I love it!

I use these grips on my GSG 1911 and my Ruger 22/45 Mark III Hunter. The guys at the gun range think that I have three or four versions of these two handguns. I have other Pachmayr all black grips with finger grooves, as well as factory and after-market wooden grips and the finger groove panel that fits under the side panels. The ONLY negative about these grips is that the little nylon washer between the rubber and wood and screw fell off. The lower rubber flapping around was really annoying. I glued the rubber to the wood and will test the gun next weekend. But I absolutely love the comfort (not to mention look) of these grips.

Gorgeous grips, look great and feel even better! Comfortable, while ensuring the correct hold. Required no fitting; was not too squishy either, just right.

I was worried this would'nt fit my Taurus PT1911 AR at first but there was no fitting required. Sleek design and well manufactured. The rubber feels awesome in my hand and doesn't stick to my fingers. The color compliments the "blue" color of my pistol. The grips slightly improved accuracy at the range and allows the pistol to sit snuggly in my grasp. This is the perfect start to my 1911's customization.

I have a set of these on my STI 1911. I just love them. They feel great, with none of the squishiness a previous reviewer experienced. I love the finger grooves. They allow a very positive grip, and I grasp the pistol in the same position every time. Also, I think they look great. They look "tacticool", but still dress up the gun. Like I said, I love 'em!

I picked up a set of these grips from a vendor other than Brownells a couple years ago. With that, what I have to say may not apply to Brownell's "version" of these grips, but I felt worth mentioning in case what I have to share applys.

My set was a bit soft or "squishy" for my liking. It didn't take long for me to figure out why. If you look at the backside of the grips, you will notice (at least on my set) that there are large crevices or dimples on the opposite side of where the grip extends between the fingers. I solved the problem by applying a generous drop of Household Goop in each crevice/dimple, applied a good amount of natures Release Agent (yes gentlemen, that would be...spit) to the front side of the grip frame that would come in contact with the Goop, installed the grips and gave her a few hours to set up. Than, removed 'em and rubbed off what Goop might have spilled over onto the frame. Use a dry finger to rub it off, just keep rolling your finger over the Goop and it will, in time, simply roll off. It might take repeating this process one more time (as it did for me) if the crevice/dimples hadn't completely "leveled."

If you think your piece runs well with the "stock" version of these grips, give that above a try. It really firms up the feel and you won't be dissapointed. And, if you don't like it, it won't be hard to revert back. Just pull and stretch the Goop until it all comes free.

Take care.

Probably the nicest grips I've ever owned for any of my .45's. They fit my hand perfect right from a draw. The only problem I've had is after a year of on and off carry,one of the inside screws that holds the rubber to the wood fell out of each side.

WOW... that's the best word used to describe these grips. Installed them on my Kimber Custom II and could not be happier. They went on in seconds and look absolutely amazing. The dark rosewood color on the black frame is just plain beautiful and adds a classic look to my gun while the rubber molded finger grooves help with proper grip on the pistol and better muzzle control which have lead to tighter groups!! This is my primary carry pistol and I can't think of a better addition to it. Looks amazing, with performance to match. Wish I could add a picture. I can assure you if your thinking about buying these just go ahead. You won't regret it.

I have two 1911 custom guns and I have both setup with these grips. I get the same feel and confidence shooting either pistol. I will only use these grips for all of the 1911's I own and recommend them to my friends. After holding my pistols they want a set for themselves. Thanks for the great product.

had to fit the abedextrious safety for clearance, used the factory grip as a guide. springfield loaded model 1911. other than that awesome, i loved this weapon before, now it is WOW. gives a plain black pistol some pizzaz, and more importantly locks the weapon in my grip. next 1911 i get is gonna get one of the grips.

I put these on a Rock Island 1911 and Changed the entire weapon! The rubber finger grooves make for an incredibly comfortable and controllable grip: aiding in consistency and accuracy. Simple Installation right our of the package!

I put these on a custom 5-inch "franken1911" and I'm nothing but content with this addition. The rubber finger grooves make for an incredibly comfortable and controllable grip: aiding in consistency and accuracy. The deep red wood accents the whole package nicely. These converted the mediocre smooth front strap into an aggressive shooting platform. NOTE: I had to do ~5 minutes of fitting work with a file, but it was easy.
