VZ Grips has been making these Alien-textured 1911 grips for years, and they've become one of the most popular options for people who want real traction without the harshness of some other aggressive patterns. The texture started as a design for the U.S. Marine Corps Precision Weapons Section before customers started asking for them in retail, and now they're found on custom builds and production guns from major manufacturers.
These grips strike a balance most people appreciate. The texture provides solid grip without being so aggressive that it tears up your hands or digs into your side if you're carrying. The pattern works equally well whether you're shooting at the range, running a competition, or carrying concealed. The black and gray color option has a classic tactical look that fits both modern and traditional 1911 builds.
These panels are cut for full-size (Government) 1911 frames and come ambidextrous-safety cut, which means they work with standard and ambidextrous safety setups. VZ engineered these to fit all the common full-size 1911 manufacturers including Colt, Springfield Armory, Kimber, Rock Island Armory, and Dan Wesson. They're constructed from G10 fiberglass composite, a material that's tough, durable, and finished to a high standard.
G10 grips hold up better than wood or plastic over years of use and carry. The material resists sweat, oils, and temperature changes while maintaining its texture and appearance. These grips are made in the USA and hand-finished after precision cutting, so each set gets proper attention to detail before it ships.
These are cut for full-size Government-frame 1911s with ambidextrous safety cuts, so they fit Colt, Springfield Armory, Kimber, Rock Island Armory, Dan Wesson, and many others. Just confirm your 1911 is a full-size (not compact or Officer's) model before ordering. If you're unsure, check your manual or contact the manufacturer of your specific 1911.
The Aliens are medium aggressive, which puts them between mild carry-focused textures and the rougher patterns like the Tactical Diamonds. Most users say they provide solid grip control without being so rough they're uncomfortable for everyday use or light carry. Some people who carry IWB prefer to wear an undershirt, but many carry them without issue.
Yes, the medium texture works for concealed carry, target practice, and competition. The design gives you reliable traction without excessive harshness. If you're carrying inside the waistband, an undershirt can help prevent any irritation from the texture rubbing directly against your body.
G10 holds its texture and appearance through years of carry and shooting, resisting sweat, oils, and temperature changes better than wood or polymer. It's durable, easy to maintain, and provides a solid grip surface that doesn't degrade over time. VZ manufactures these in the USA with hand finishing after precision cutting.
