Pachmayr Custom Laminate Grips for 1911 Government & Commander Pistols

Pachmayr Custom Laminate Grips for 1911 Government & Commander pistols combine functional ergonomics with genuine wood aesthetics—a straightforward upgrade for shooters who want their 1911 to look and feel right in the hand. These semi-auto grips use laminated wood construction in your choice of finishes, each with recoil-absorbing rubber panels integrated to help manage felt kick during shooting. The wraparound design follows the lines of the frame naturally, and the finger grooves are cut to encourage a consistent grip position shot after shot.

Built with practical details: relief cuts accommodate ambidextrous safeties, and the mainspring housing has a pin cut-out so installation is straightforward. Whether your 1911 is blued, stainless, or any other finish, these grips work with the visual language of the gun while delivering real ergonomic benefit. No flash, no gimmicks—just solid grip texture and wood that doesn't slip when things get serious.

Available in Rosewood, Charcoal, Silvertone, and Heritage Walnut finishes, so you can match your pistol's personality or just pick what feels right in your hand. Pachmayr grips are proven gear used by shooters on the range, in competition, and in the field.
