Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Officer-size 1911s are great to carry and rough to shoot. Less mass, shorter sight radius, same .45 ACP punch. The Hogue 43000 is one of the most proven fixes out there. It is a one-piece wraparound rubber grip built specifically for Colt Officer and compact 1911 frames with 2-11/16 inch spacing between the grip screws, and it changes how these little guns feel in the hand more than just about any other upgrade at this price point.
The rubber itself is where Hogue earns its reputation. It is a dense synthetic compound, not the soft, gummy stuff that catches on cover garments or melts when it meets gun oil. It shrugs off the solvents and lubricants you will use during cleaning, and a molded-in reinforcing insert engages the frame directly so the grip seats rock solid instead of flexing or shifting under recoil. The Cobblestone stippling gives you genuine traction with wet or sweaty hands without chewing up your palm, and the ambidextrous palm swells fill the hand naturally for right- and left-handed shooters alike. The front strap finger grooves are proportioned to put your fingers exactly where they belong, which makes a real difference in managing muzzle flip and getting back on the sights for follow-up shots.
Installation is straightforward. The grip stretches around the front strap and secures with your pistol's existing grip screws, no fitting required on most guns, and it is designed to clear both standard and ambidextrous safeties. Beyond the Colt Officer's Model, it works on most single-stack compact 1911 clones from makers like Kimber and Springfield that share the Officer screw spacing. Note that it will not fit full-size Government frames, double-stack pistols, or the Springfield EMP. Hogue has been making grips in the USA since 1968, and this one is a long-running favorite for concealed carry guns and range compacts alike. If your factory panels are leaving you with a stinging palm or a shifting grip, this is the easy, affordable cure.
In most cases, yes. It fits Officer-size single-stack frames with 2-11/16 inch spacing between the grip screws, which covers most compact 1911 clones from Kimber, Springfield, and others. It will not fit full-size Government frames, double-stack pistols, or the Springfield EMP, which uses a shorter frame. Measure your screw spacing if you're unsure.
No, the grip is designed to reuse the screws already on your pistol, and on most guns they thread right back in. A few pistols with extra-thin factory panels, like the Colt New Agent, may need slightly longer screws. Those are inexpensive and easy to source if your originals come up short.
No. Hogue molds these from a dense synthetic rubber that stays firm rather than tacky, so it won't grab clothing the way softer grips can. The material resists the solvents and lubricants used in normal firearm cleaning and won't deteriorate or come apart with regular use.
Yes, this grip is designed to work with or without an ambidextrous safety, so most setups bolt up without modification. Some pistols with non-standard controls may need light trimming, which the rubber takes easily. For typical Colt Officer configurations, it's a straight drop-on installation.
It adds a little thickness compared to flat panels since it wraps the front strap, but it stays trim enough that Hogue markets it for both concealed carry and competition. Most shooters find the trade-off well worth it, since the finger grooves and palm swells dramatically improve control on snappy short-barrel guns. The smooth Cobblestone texture is also gentler on cover garments than aggressive checkering.
