To Chuck of Louisville, I ...

To Chuck of Louisville, I hope you didn't go cutting the wood of your grips to fit your ambidextrous safeties...I have a Charles Daly 1911 with ambidextrous safeties and the American Legend grips fit perfectly...but I suspect I know what trouble you were having..when mounting on mine, the left-side wood was obstructed by the left side safety, until I cocked the gun and activated the safety, which swung the safety up out of the way (on both sides, obviously) and then the wood snapped perfectly into place. And to Joe in NH, you must have gotten a 2nd or something, because the color and finish of the wood on mine are perfect, a deep, beautiful rosewood color that is the perfect complement to the 1911. I was surprised to find they were one-piece, like other Pachmeyrs, with the rubber connecting the two wood pieces. It makes perfect sense, but for some reason I thought it would be two pieces of harder rubber, one on each wood grip, with a seem down the middle of the rubber. I think these American Legend grips are perfectly named, the perfect grips for a perfect gun and the styling and quality couldn't be better...the best of both worlds, beautiful Rosewood with soft rubber finger-grooves. The 1911 now feels perfect in my hand and the Legend grips did not make it any thicker to hold then the original grip panels. You can't do better than these.

Grips do not support ambidextrous safeties. They require cutting out section of wood. Tried to call their 800 number to see how they recommend doing so--no answer after 10 minutes of "...Read complete review

Comments about Pachmayr American Legend Grip with Finger Grooves 1911 Government, Commander Rosewood with Rubber Wraparound:

i am a ccw guy and these grips are great for all around daily carry and range duty,they feel great and look great even with my magwell. i thought these would look cheap and out of place with my magwell, but they dont they look classic and edgey. i thought pachmayr was cheap junk, but its not, and i am a pachmayr man for life. only problem is i cant use my clipdraw, because of the little nubbin on back from the medallion.

By James

from Raymore, MO

Comments about Pachmayr American Legend Grip with Finger Grooves 1911 Government, Commander Rosewood with Rubber Wraparound:

Theses grips are great though I did have to rework them slightly with a dremel to clear the magazine release on my STI. I also have to agree the rubber did pucker some when I tightened the screws down but not enough to make it an issue for me. I like a thicker grip when shooting and added rubber finger grips thickens the 1911 just enough, allowing me to get back on target quickly. Don't know about the medallion issue I have shot nearly a 1000 rounds since installing these and they are still there. Of course this is not my carry gun so it is either in a case or my safe when I am not shooting it.

By Robert

from Lima, OH

Comments about Pachmayr American Legend Grip with Finger Grooves 1911 Government, Commander Rosewood with Rubber Wraparound:

The grips look great, feel great, but they are best purchased if you only intend to display the gun. The medallions fall off after about 200 rounds. The rubber is too soft and is not glued to the wood, it puckers up when you tighten them down with the grip screw. After the second pair of grips I gave up and exchanged for a Hogue. Midway has been excellent about taking the grips back and promptly sending replacements.

Comments about Pachmayr American Legend Grip with Finger Grooves 1911 Government, Commander Rosewood with Rubber Wraparound:

I bought these for a Colt Compact but realized these are for Full size frames. I have several other 1911's but they do not fit 1911 9mm frames very well. They are excellent on the full size frame 45's though.

By Austin

from Keene, NH

Comments about Pachmayr American Legend Grip with Finger Grooves 1911 Government, Commander Rosewood with Rubber Wraparound:

Very nice grips. I love rubber grips but shied away from them on such a classic gun because of the aesthetics. These however, are a marriage between function and form that provides outstanding tactile feel while adding dignity with the wood.Four stars only because Pachmayr continues to overlook applying loctite to the medallions prior to shipping.....and they consequently fall out. To their credit they did ship me a replacement pair with no problem, but it would make a lot more sense to not have the problem occur in the first place. Don't hesitate to buy these, they are awesome, but make sure you put some medium duty loctite in the medallion screws before fitting them to your pistol.

Comments about Pachmayr American Legend Grip with Finger Grooves 1911 Government, Commander Rosewood with Rubber Wraparound:

Great feel couldn't use um with my pancake holster I use for cc. But handles well, only flaw is you need to re-glue the rubber to the wood cause they don't stay for long

By ROBERT

from CUDAHY, WI

Comments about Pachmayr American Legend Grip with Finger Grooves 1911 Government, Commander Rosewood with Rubber Wraparound:

Excellent grip! I had to do a bit of reshaping to make room for the ambi thumb safeties on my RIA. The wood is a very nice rosewood and all you need to do is file/sand/dremmel the grip, polish with 400 grit sandpaper and use some gun oil to finish. I would also advise to make sure the mag release cutout clears on the right. mine was a bit too close of a fit so I opened it up just a touch. Really gives a solid grip on the gun, and on my black pistol it looks great!

I love the grips, the only gripe I had is the extended slidestop on my 1911 was incompatible with the grips. Gotta trim the slidestop or the grips if you have extended.
