Description
There's a reason grip screws get overlooked more than almost any other part on a 1911, they're small, they're cheap from the factory, and most guys never think twice about them. But once you swap in a set of VZ Grips Turbo Screws, you'll wonder why you waited so long. The turbo pattern cut into each Torx head has a sharp, mechanical look that stands out against black or dark grip panels, and the Black Out finish keeps everything blacked out for a clean, uniform appearance rather than a mismatched shine from stock hardware.
The Turbo Pattern That Gives These Screws Their Name
Instead of a plain slot or hex drive, VZ machined a distinct turbo blade pattern into the head of each screw. It's a small detail, but it's the kind of thing people notice when they look closely at a well built 1911. Beyond looks, the Torx design gives you a more positive bit engagement than a slotted screw, so you're less likely to chew up the head or have your driver slip while snugging things down.
Fitting the Turbo Screws to Your 1911
This set is built for standard thickness 1911 grips, which covers most Government, Commander, and Officers frames right out of the package. If you're running VZ's slim-line G10 panels instead, these same screws will still work once you pair them with VZ's universal bushings, so you don't need a completely separate hardware set just because your grips are thinner. A T-15 Torx driver is what you'll need to install them, and that's it, no special tools or extra hardware required for a standard build.
Made by Hand, Built to Dress Up Your Pistol
Every set of VZ Turbo Screws is hand made in the USA, which fits with how the company has built its reputation on 1911 hardware and grips for years now. It's a straightforward upgrade: four screws, one finish, one purpose, giving your pistol a more finished, custom appearance without touching the internals or function of the gun itself. Whether you're finishing off a fresh set of G10 grips or just tired of looking at scuffed factory screws, this is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to change the character of your 1911's grip panel setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What driver do I need to install the VZ Grips Turbo Screws?
You'll need a T-15 Torx driver to install these grip screws. A standard flathead or hex bit will not work with the turbo pattern head, so make sure you've got the right size Torx bit on hand before you start swapping out your factory screws.
Will these Turbo Screws fit my Commander, Government, or Officers frame 1911?
Yes, this set is built for standard thickness 1911 grips, which covers Government, Commander, and Officers size frames. As long as you're running standard thickness grip panels, these screws should thread right into your existing bushings.
Can I use these with slim or thin G10 grips instead of standard grips?
You can, but you'll want to pair them with VZ's universal bushings designed for slim-line grip setups. Without the correct bushings, standard thickness screws will sit too proud or won't seat properly against thinner grip panels.
Do the Turbo Screws come with O-rings or a driver bit?
No, this set includes just the 4 grip screws in the Black Out finish. If you want O-rings to help cushion the screw head against G10 or Micarta grips, those are sold separately.
