I am trying to set up my SS gun as close as possible to my Limited gun Evo is the widest grip out there. They are related but not the same. I don't think you'll feel close enough to feel they are still similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belus Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 You can try to find some DS Perman 19-20 grips, or maybe the Hogue Extra Wide aluminum will feel good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBurgess Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 you may want to try a arched mainspring housing, they help fill the hand in a similar manner to steel 2011 grips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I use an arched main spring housing and the DS perman grips. I have some thick aluminum hogue grips that you can try if you want. no obligation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some thick aluminum hogue grips that you can try if you want. no obligation. Are those DS Perman grips still being made? My Google search turned up nothing. My attempt to make my 1911 as large as possible is with Thick Armanov Spidergo grips, + Pearce finger grooves, which add to the front strap but also a tiny bit of width. I'll add an arched mainspring later, along with a large magwell that will give the bottom of my hand more purchase too. The Dawson magwell will knock out both of these. These changes make room for the weak hand, but do almost nothing to increase the distance from the backstrap to the trigger. Large hands often have long fingers, ya know? That's one thing I think Glock got seriously right, by providing different thickness backstraps that have the beavertail, increasing that particularly critical distance.

At least just to try and see what thickness works the best I mean, if you have some grips in the type of texture you prefer, make an outline of them on cardboard to find the thickness you feel most comfortable with. If this works then maybe try reproducing that level of thickness onto sheet aluminum. The extra weight shouldn't be a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 The super thick Hogue G10 scales have tons of material you can shape to your liking. I did that when I couldn't get ahold of any DSPerman grips. Hard to replicate micro pockets though. It's not quite the PT Evo but you can carve away without emptying your wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still looking for some kind of steel bolt-on magwell (like the dawson ipsc magwell, but steel, and maybe bigger (and heavier), but not as big as the ICE.

I used one a decade ago. It's good for smaller hands as it covers the grips slightly.https://infinity.americommerce.com/single-stack-competition-magwell.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJinPA Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 CW makes a wide body single stack grip. Definitely a more expensive option but could use your limited gun frame and slide. https://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/CW-Accessories-WIDE-BODY-SINGLE-STACK-GRIP-P5999.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
