igolfat8 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I have a couple single stack 1911 9's. Is it possible to widen the grips to make it feel more like a double stack? I have large hands and coming from Glocks the 1911 feels so tiny in my hands. I just feel I would have more control with a wider grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Absolutely! DSPerman grips. End up feeling almost identical to a 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilBunniFuFu Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 +1 on the DS perman grips. They take some fitting but be patient and go slowly. Grip tape is the best as the stippling gets a little wonky on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maleman000 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Are they cut for Techwell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dons Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 My solution for this is to make "shims" cut to size that go between the frame and your grips. 1/16 inch shims will give you 1/8" wider grip. You can try it with cardboard to see if you like the concept. I've made them out of plastic, aluminum, and steel. Works great for me, YMMV.

TheSandMan491 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I shot with Bob Novak and SSTK Nats this year. He had some G10 grips he had cut to mimic a 2011. I am not sure if he had plans to release them as production tech well grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Hogue thick grips make it the same as a 2011. I have them on a 22/45 and they are the same as my 2011's. Edited August 11, 2016 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROY NEAL Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 My suggestion Gentlemen is to contact Bob Novak at TechwearUSA..........he does have a solution. I have tried the prototypes and even made a suggestion on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have them on a 22/45 and they are the same as my 2011's. I took this advice and found some Hogue Grips on amazon for $20 and they make my 1911 feel like my 2011. They were advertised as 9/32" thick grips but the package read 5/16" I was planning on lathering them with silicon carbide but they're surprisingly aggressive. They are aluminum and I'll have to weigh the gun to make sure its still legal but I recommend the hogue to anyone trying to get their 1911 to feel like a double stack and not break the bank.
