Ed Brown slim grip bushings are precision-made replacement parts designed specifically for 1911 Government-frame pistols running slim grips. These bushings come in a set of four and feature a blued finish that matches most factory 1911 aesthetics. Unlike standard bushings, the slim profile is engineered to work with slim grip panels and slim screw dimensions, ensuring proper fit and function without any fitment issues.
The key difference between these slim bushings and standard versions is their height and intended grip compatibility. Slim bushings are shorter and designed specifically for thin grip panels that measure less than standard thickness. If you're upgrading to slim grips or replacing damaged slim bushings on an existing pistol, matching them with Ed Brown's slim specification ensures the grip screws seat properly and won't protrude into the magazine well or interfere with magazine feeding.
These bushings feature the standard #8-36 thread common across American-spec 1911s, so they'll work with most Government-frame pistols from major manufacturers. When installing, take care to hand-start each bushing before using a bushing driver bit to avoid cross-threading. A quality bushing driver and thread-locking compound on the bushings makes the installation process straightforward and helps prevent them from loosening over time.
Ed Brown has over 50 years of experience perfecting 1911 components, and their grip bushings reflect that commitment to quality. These replacements restore function to worn or damaged bushings and pair perfectly with Ed Brown slim grips or any compatible slim grip panels. The blued finish is durable and won't require additional finishing work to match your pistol.
Slim bushings are shorter and designed for thin grip panels, typically under 0.250 inches thick. Standard bushings are taller and work with full-thickness grips. Using the wrong type can cause the grip screws to bottom out or stick out where they shouldn't. Always match your bushing type to your grip thickness.
A quality bushing driver bit makes installation much easier and helps prevent damaging the bushing slot. While you can hand-start them with a gunsmith-style screwdriver, using a dedicated bushing driver prevents cross-threading and makes removal easier down the road. Applying thread-locking compound before installation is also recommended.
These fit Government-frame 1911 pistols using the standard #8-36 thread common to modern American-spec 1911s. They'll work with most Government and full-size models from Colt, Springfield Armory, Kimber, Wilson Combat, and other major manufacturers as long as you're using slim grips.
Yes. Slim bushings require slim grip screws, which are shorter than standard screws to avoid bottoming out or sticking through to the magazine well. Standard screws are too long for slim bushings and will cause function problems. Make sure to order both the slim bushings and slim screws together.
