Vz Grips Government Grips, Slim, Blast Black Canvas

Vz Grips Government Grips in Slim profile and Blast Black Canvas give your 1911 a custom, aggressive look while delivering the texture and control you need behind the gun. These slim-profile grips are built from Micarta—a material that's engineered to handle temperature swings and maintain its grip properties in any condition. Whether you're running drills at the range or carrying daily, Vz Grips are designed to stay put in your hand.

The Canvas variant is the thickest of Vz's Micarta offerings and features actual canvas threads milled into the surface, creating additional grip texture beyond the signature alligator-back ridge pattern that runs lengthwise across the panels. That combination of raised ridges and canvas texture is what sets these grips apart—it's tactile, distinctive, and genuinely functional. The Blast Black finish is understated and pairs well with virtually any 1911 platform.

If you're upgrading a Government-frame 1911 and want grips that look custom without looking overdone, these deliver. Slim profiles work well for shooters who prefer a narrower grip circumference or who are fitting grips to a 1911 built for carry rather than pure range duty. Installation is straightforward—they drop in like any standard 1911 grip panel.
