1911-A1 grip question

Hunter07 · 01-29-2011, 09:49 PM

I'm thinking of buying these grips from Pachmayr for my Springfield Armory Loaded model, but I don't know if they're cut for the ambi safety.

Can't see anything on their site that says if they are or not.

Anyone have these and can ya provide me an answer?

Thanks.

I held a 1911-A1 with these on the other day and really liked them.

Guess I'll give them a call on Monday.

Thank you for your response.

I'm looking at wrap-aroung grips for my Taurus.Found out they need the ambi cut.
Poster said it was a easy job with a Dremel tool.

The Hogue finger groove grip is much better then the Pachmayr IMHO.I don't care for those medallions on the grips.Heres my Springfield GI.The Hogues fit like a glove.Got them on most of my handguns.

currently have them on my own loaded springfield. all is good. pachmayr logos fell out in no time. superglued a pair of delta logos from ebay, looks great

The grips showed up in the mailbox a little bit ago. Had to do a little trimming to accommodate the ambi safety, but it turned out ok.

I like how they feel and hope to get to the range on Saturday.
