1911 Grip Dimensions & Pistol Grip Sizing Guide

Use this TK Grips 1911 grip dimensions and pistol grip sizing guide to confirm fitment before ordering. Pistol model names can look similar while grip-frame length, screw-hole spacing, tang shape, safety clearance and lanyard-ring cuts differ.

1911 grip sizes

Government / Commander grip frame

  • Screw-hole spacing: approximately 3 1/16 in (78 mm), center to center.
  • Common examples include Colt Government, Colt Commander, Kimber Custom and other standard full-size 1911 grip frames.
  • A Commander usually uses the full-size grip frame even though its slide and barrel are shorter.

Officer / Defender / Compact grip frame

  • Screw-hole spacing: approximately 2 11/16 in (68 mm), center to center.
  • Common examples include Colt Officer, Colt Defender and Kimber Ultra Carry.
  • Do not order full-size 1911 grips for a compact frame unless the product page explicitly confirms compatibility.

Browning Hi-Power fitment

Hi-Power Mk I, Mk II and Mk III-pattern pistols can differ in tang shape and safety clearance. Springfield SA-35, Tisas Regent BR9, Girsan MC P35, FEG P9 and other P35-pattern pistols may also require a specific cut. Use the compatibility list on the individual product page as the final fitment authority.

Shop Browning Hi-Power grips or compare tang styles in the Hi-Power beavertail guide.

SIG P210 fitment

SIG P210 frames vary by model, generation and country of manufacture. Some pistols require a lanyard-ring cut. Confirm the exact model and cut option shown on the product page before ordering.

Beretta fitment

Current TK Grips Beretta products are built around the Model 70-series pattern. Check each product page for confirmed Model 70, 71 or 72 compatibility. These products are not for Beretta 92-series or M9 pistols unless explicitly stated.

How to verify before ordering

  1. Confirm the exact manufacturer and model marking on the pistol.
  2. Measure grip-screw spacing from the center of one screw to the center of the other.
  3. Compare the tang, safety and lanyard-ring areas with the product photos.
  4. Read the compatibility list on the individual product page.
