2011/1911DS Grip Chop and Texture

We're now offering our grip chop service for full-size 2011-style polymer grip modules to accept compact 16-round (120mm) Staccato C2 magazines. This can be done for most brands of 2011-style polymer grip modules as well as the new MJD Solutions carbon/kevlar/polymer grip module.

Staccato used to sell their compact and full-size Gen2 grip modules separately, but they are no longer available for purchase. The new MJD Solutions grip module is a great high quality option for a separate grip module, but it is currently only available as a full-size grip. Unlike the old discontinued STI VIP compact grip module (the predecessor to the C2 grip) that was just a full-size grip cut down at the factory and utilized a shorter proprietary "Officer" size polymer mainspring housing (also discontinued), our grip chop retains the full-size mainspring housing by using a 5mm "step cut" to accommodate the shorter magazines.

Below are some examples of 2011-style grip modules that we've chopped, chamfered, and textured with our Concealed Carry texture in a 360-degree wrap around configuration. We also added smooth magwell borders on the bottom of the grips and mainspring housings for a custom touch on each one, which is not a standard offering with the grip chop service.
