I cannot imagine what John Moses Browning thought what accessories his ubiquitous design would spawn. But, I would imagine he would be patriotic and agree that Strike Industries 1911 Polymer Extreme Flat Pattern grips would be a worthy addition to the .45 handgun.

Compatible with most 1911 full-size handguns, the PX-11 grips are pre-cut for ambidextrous safeties.The grips are a dull matte black that “look more grey.” The grips are available directly from Strike Industries for $15.95.

– Thickness: 0.27″ (0.635cm)
– Density: 1.42
