98Z5V Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 MagPul just dropped their 1911 grip panels. Available in black only, at this time. Didn't notice them until I completed an order, or I would have tossed them in the basket. Next time - I know the rule. <thumbsup> Description: The instructors for Magpul's training division wanted a 1911 grip with advanced features, improved control characteristics, and Magpul value. These grips were designed with their input and testing.

The grips are designed to fit full size framed 1911s with standard grip screw bushings. Available in black only, with additional fitments and materials coming. Made in U.S.A.

Robocop1051 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I like that they're spreading out. I was really hoping for them to spread towards the 10/22 market. I like the concept of their grips... but I like VZ Grips a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelDeVille Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I haven't set eyes or hands on them but they look nice. I'm still partial to the 1918? pattern plastic ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Finally picked up a set of these - like them alot. <thumbsup> How's the feel, thick or thin? I'm partial to a thinner grip with my short, fat fingers. Even with thin grips I have to adjust the grip safety to almost not there status if I want to keep a thumb on the safety.

98Z5V Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Same profile as standard grip panels - not different, thickness-wise. Hell of alot grippier, though. There are two different versions - one set has the little MagPul emblems on them, for grip, just like the standard pistol grips and the vertical grip. This set I got had more grip. MOE Grip Panels: MOE Grip Panels, TSP: Damn things are GRIPPY! Created as an evolution of the original MOE 1911 Grip Panels, the 1911 Grip Panels with TSP texture offers the user a more aggressive texture allowing for better control of the weapon in all environments. Constructed of heavy-duty reinforced polymer, the grips have a unique diamond-shaped cross section to prevent twisting in the hand, an aggressive magazine release cut-out, aggressive TSP texture (Trapezoidal Surface Projections) for positive control, and are compatible with ambidextrous safeties. The grips are designed to fit full size framed 1911s with standard grip screw bushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
