mark carr Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Anybody tried the new single stack grip for the 2011 should be nice I would like to shoot my 40 with just a grip change.http://shop.1911parts.com/STI-2011-Grip-Composite-Single-Stack-Black-2011-grip-ss-black.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
furyalecto Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I haven't tried it. I wonder how easy it is to seat the mags. It looks like the purpose is to shoot with single stack mags in a 2011 grip. Remove the space between the . & the html & the link works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merlin Orr Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I will be trying this out ASAP..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
polizei1 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Is it legal? More importantly, if you're trying to take your 2011 and shoot SS with it, the gun will have to be legal. I just don't see the point. If you have a 2011, you're going to be shooting Limited 10/Limited or Open. If you want to shoot SS, I would think your best bet would be to pick up an STI Spartan/Trojan.

RH45 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I'm thinking that I've read somewhere in this forum, that the combination of a 2011, that accepts single stack magazines isn't legal for single stack division. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
z40acp Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 It would not be legal in Single Stack division. As long as the outside of the grip feels like a 2011 it would make a good .22 conversion gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steel1212 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I can't get the link to work on my phone. I never have seen te point though. It's not legal in any game that would make sense. If you have a limited gun you can shoot it in limited. If you have SS mags you prob have a SS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amish_rabbi Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I like this, can get a used open gun in 9mm and use my huge stash of ss mags in it for steel vs spending a ton on new mags. And im in canada so a full set of mags is $800 or so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merlin Orr Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 So it is not a slimmer "standard" SS grip...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JakeMartens Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I know a guy that was/is working on a grip that takes a single stack frame, attaches as a wrap around style grip to make your single stack feel like your double stack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duke Nukem Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Wait, what? "Includes a factory-installed, checkered composite mainspring housing that matches the grip color. Mainspring housing not included." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sperman Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I would like to have a true single stack grip made for the STI frame. I think it would make a nice carry gun, but why have the fat grip with the single stack capacity? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steviesterno Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 it only makes sense for a game like the PSA shootout, where all guns are 10 rounds all day no matter what. And even then, only if you don't already have a few 140s but already have the SS mags in the same caliber. But then you would probably have that SS gun, so I see no real point? I'm confused :wacko: :wacko: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
z40acp Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Wait, what? "Includes a factory-installed, checkered composite mainspring housing that matches the grip color. Mainspring housing not included." Maybe it means the main housing pin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There a larger availablity of good single stack .22 mags at half the cost of TS mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aircooled6racer Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hello: I bought one of the old style 2011 grips with the spacers. I plan on using it for a 22 conversion using single stack mags. I guess I could use it for a 45 and Limited 10 also since I have lots of single stack 45 mags. Thanks, Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve RA Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Is it, for sure, not legal for SS?? Or do there have to be 500 sold and approved by USPSA to be legal in SS?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sperman Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 IMO, it does not meet this requirement. (Probably need to check with Gary or DNROI) Special conditions: — Only 1911 production type pistols. Must be available to the general public and have their basis in the original 1911 service pistol as designed by John M. Browning. Pistols made from components that duplicate the factory originals are acceptable. Frames must be metal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mark carr Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think it only makes since to be legal in single stack look how many guys that would give it a try if all they had to do is throw a grip on there limited gun and buy some magazines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mgood Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The reason I shoot a 1911 is because I like the thin grip. This looks like the worst of both worlds, fat grip with low capacity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Norther Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Doesn't "duplicate factory original". All those long dust covers, bull barrels, etc. would take a lot of limited guns out of SS anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beauxdog Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 The use of the single stack grip won't pass the rules as they are for now. THe rules stated the frame must be metal and it must be the same demension as a 1911. I have a single stack grip for one pistol and use it with a Marvel Conversion. It is awesome for use on shooting steel and just a lot of fun to play with. Beauxdog NRA-Life L-2311 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a matt Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Beauxdog do you have a pix you can post? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I want this SO bad. Its a shame it doesn't meet SS reqs. Its totally cool and allows you to take a 5" gun and create multiple platforms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
