Few handguns reward a little personal touch like the 1911, and a new set of grip panels is the simplest way to change how one looks and feels. WOOX's new 1911 panels are handcrafted in Italy and made to replace standard aftermarket grips, so you can customize a pistol without major modifications.

You pick a material and a texture. The American walnut panels are hand-finished and sealed, and each set shows its own natural grain, the classic look for a 1911. Micarta is the modern option: a layered material known for durability and moisture resistance, for shooters who want something other than wood. Both keep the familiar 1911 panel profile. The three patterns are Plain (smooth, to show off the material), Diamond (traditional checkering for traction) and X-Grip (a geometric texture with more contact points).

The panels fit full-size 1911s and clones that take standard aftermarket grips, and they accommodate ambidextrous thumb safeties and standard screw bushings. Check your pistol's frame size before ordering, since these are made for full-size guns.
