If you want to dress up a full size 1911 without going the wood or rubber route, aluminum is hard to beat, and Hogue does it right with the Extreme Series. These panels start as solid billet 6061 T6 aerospace grade aluminum and get precision machined to final shape, so you end up with grips that fit cleanly against the frame with no warping, voids, or casting flaws to deal with. The brushed surface is sealed under a gloss clear anodized coating, which means the silver finish resists scratches, sweat, and solvents far better than bare metal ever would.
This set is the standard 1/4 inch thickness, so it keeps the original feel of a factory 1911 grip rather than slimming things down. The panels have a smooth face with no finger grooves, which a lot of shooters prefer for a consistent grip angle and easy draw. They include a cutout for ambidextrous safeties, and they install with your existing factory grip screws and bushings, so swapping them on is a five minute job with a 3/32 inch hex driver. Government model screw spacing is the standard 3 1/16 inches, which also covers Commander frames and most full size 1911 clones.
These are a natural match for stainless or hard chrome guns where you want that all metal look, and they also make a sharp contrast piece on a blued frame. Shooters consistently mention the build quality and clean fit right out of the package, and since the surface is anodized aluminum, it takes custom engraving well if you ever want to personalize it down the road. Hogue has been building grips in their family run American facilities since 1968, and the Extreme Series carries that same attention to detail. Sold as a pair of left and right panels, part number 45165.
Yes. These are cut for the standard Government grip pattern with 3 1/16 inch screw hole spacing, which is the same spacing used on Commander frames and most full size 1911 clones from makers like Springfield, Kimber, Rock Island, and Ruger. They will not fit Officer or compact frames, which use a shorter grip.
No. As a standard 1/4 inch thickness grip, these are designed to work with your existing factory screws and bushings. Installation takes just a few minutes with a 3/32 inch hex driver, and Hogue recommends tightening the screws to about 12 inch pounds so you do not crack or distort the panels.
The brushed surface has a bit more traction than polished metal, but these are a smooth grip with no checkering or finger grooves. They work well for range guns, collection pieces, and shooters who prefer a smooth panel for a consistent draw. If you want aggressive texture for carry or competition, a checkered or G10 grip would be the better pick.
Not under normal use. The panels are anodized with a gloss clear coating, which is a hard surface treatment rather than paint, so it resists scratching, sweat, and gun solvents very well. The aluminum underneath will not rust either, making these a low maintenance option.
Yes, the right panel includes a relief cut for ambidextrous safeties. Most setups drop right in, though some aftermarket ambi safety levers run slightly oversized and may need a small amount of fitting on the cutout. With a standard single side safety they install with no fitting at all.
