Got one of these for my RIA 1911 .45 which has the smooth front strap piece. Thought I might like having finger grooves to help stabilize the recoil of the big bore gun. I have medium sized hands and this didn't add enough width to my gun to make it uncomfortable to handle..as a matter of fact, it fit my hands much better. I use G10 grips with mine and the feel and grip is great. I had to trim a little off the sides but that was no issue. Overall, this is great! Plan on getting one for a 10mm I got coming in as well.

It's worth it for its purpose but it give the gun a bigger deal and depending on how you would prefer your gun thick or slim it as a little extra width to the handle so you might want to test out a few guns at a local shop that might have similar to test the feel because it dose make a big difference. But it changes the whole look as well kinda more coller and realistic like a bad ass gun. Especially if you modify your 1911. But the only problem I did have was the side flaps were not that we'll made or just a bad molding but the flaps don't fit perfect and have to be adjusted and fit to be even and even after that you might have to cut the excess rubber hanging out from under the side panels and even than it still dose not sit flush but I have my grips even up with each other so it dose not make a huge difference but it fits it's purpose giving it grip.Read full review

Improves the grip when the front strap is smooth - made of flexible rubber, but gives a much better hold on the 1911 I put it on. Simply remove the grips, align the holes, and put the grips back on. There is a little excess rubber sticking out from under the grip in places, but if I had a burning desire I could trim the excess easily. I have the Pearce Grips on 45 and 38 Super calibers, and the grips help stabilize both guns. Sure, you can put on grip tape, but cleaning that off can be a chore. The Pearce Grip can be removed any time you like. Great product, highly recommend it.

Looking for an inexpensive, fast, and easy way to greatly increase your grip on that favorite 1911? Try a Pearce Rubber Finger Groove Insert. Checkering and stippling do the job and look cool, but both processes are expensive, time consuming to do, and permanent. And not all gunsmiths offer checkering or stippling services. The Pearce insert fits under you existing grip panels and provide you with a very positive, great feeling grip. Your present grips screws and grip screw bushings don't need to be changed either. Pearce Inserts are available for both full sized and compact grip frames. Give 'em a try!

This is a really good addition to my GSG 1911. The pistol fits my hand much better now. As others have said, and if your picky, you may need to trim the edges a bit. Otherwise it fits the pistol very well. I really like that you can still use what ever side panel grips you like. Similar products come with the side panel grips as part of the unit, so you're not able to add whatever side panels you prefer. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking improve the feel of their 1911.
