Description
The 1911 is a classic, but the compact Officer's Sized versions usually leave you with no way to mount a light or laser. That is exactly where the Recover Tactical CC3C-04 comes in. This gray polymer grip and rail system wraps around your pistol's frame and gives you a full Picatinny rail out front, while also swapping in a set of ergonomic grip panels that improve how the gun feels in your hand.
What the CC3C-04 Grip & Rail System Does for Your 1911
The whole point here is adding a rail to a pistol that never came with one, and doing it without cutting, drilling, or sending anything off to a gunsmith. The rail is a standard Picatinny setup, so it plays nice with most compact weapon lights and laser units on the market. On top of that, the redesigned grip texture gives you a more modern, secure hold than the flat panels most 1911s ship with.
Installing the Gray CC3C-04 in Minutes
Installation is refreshingly simple. You unscrew your existing grips, seat the new grip and rail shell in place using your original grip screws, then tighten the supplied hardware near the trigger guard and under the frame to lock the rail down. Most folks have it done in under three minutes with the included hex wrench. Because it uses a wrap-around design, it stays put and holds accessories steady instead of wobbling around.
Built to Last and Field Strip Friendly
Recover builds these from glass-reinforced polymer, so the unit stays light while shrugging off range abuse. One of the smartest touches is that it is field strip compatible, meaning you can break your 1911 down for cleaning without pulling the grips off first. This system is designed specifically for compact and Officer's Sized frames, and it is a solid pick if you own a Rock Island or Taurus PT1911 and want a guaranteed proper fit. Recover also backs it with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the CC3C-04 fit my compact 1911?
This system is made specifically for compact and Officer's Sized 1911 frames, so it fits pistols that use the shorter grip and barrel. It is also the recommended choice for Rock Island Armory and Taurus PT1911 owners who want a guaranteed proper fit. If you are unsure, measure the grip and rail area against the manufacturer's fit guide before ordering.
Do I need a gunsmith to install the CC3C-04 grip and rail system?
Not at all. It uses your existing grip screws plus the supplied hardware, and most people have it mounted in under three minutes with just the included hex wrench. There are no permanent modifications to your firearm.
What lights and lasers work with this rail?
The CC3C-04 uses a standard Picatinny rail, so it accepts most compact weapon lights and laser units built for that mounting standard. Compact and pistol-sized units tend to work best given the short rail length on Officer's Sized frames.
Can I still field strip my 1911 with the grip and rail system installed?
Yes. The CC3C-04 is field strip compatible, so you can break your pistol down for cleaning and maintenance without removing the grips or the rail. That makes routine upkeep just as easy as it was before.
