Can anyone recommend some replacement grips for my Springfield range officer? I'd like something slimmer than that stock grips that will give the gun less width if possible. Other than that I'm open to any material etc.

Check out VZ Grips. Many styles to choose from. If you do go with the slim grips, you will have to replace the bushings and screws as well.

VZ grips are great. Lots of choices that will make your head spin.

Another +1 for VZ at least for functional grips. And if you like them on FB they have a coupon for a few bucks off.

 

Also check out Raasco.

 

If you don't want something like ivory or exotic wood 1911 grips are everywhere.

Thanks guys I ordered some slimline carbon fiber grips from VZ. Special thanks for the heads up about the bushings ordered those too.

I'm a big fan of Les Baer grips.

You'll like them. Which did you order? I have the Operator I G10s .

Is that the grip you use for IDPA? Been looking to change my grips so it was coincidence this topic came up. I've used diamond and smooth wood grips. Sometimes I feel the diamond's too sharp, and the smooth ones are too slick. I have 30lpi checkered front strap and mainspring and have to adjust my grip for mag changes so smooth grips are nice on that note, but I feel I depend a lot on my checkering for a firm grasp when I'm running a string. Looking for an ideal pattern that if I'm not squeezing, it provides the right amount of slip and when engaging, provides the right amount of grip.

I ordered the 320 carbon fiber in slim. Hope the black looks ok with the blued steel of the range office. I really wanted something slimmer than the standard grips.

Nice. Good choice. I don't have those yet. The slims are nice for a different feel. I have big hands but have used slim grips on a couple 1911s. Remember you have to change the grip bushings and use the short screws for the slims.

I actually have big hands too, I think the only thing I like about my buddies kimber better than my RO is that the handle and grip of his feel smaller and like I have better control. That is why I was searching for new grips in the first place. And yeah I got their universal bushings and some of their turbo screws.

I bought a pair of VZ g10 extreme grips from a board member here. Awesome grips.

 

Only issue is they are a tad aggressive (texture) for new people. =P

Maks a lot of people sand them down slightly!; OP I also recommend VZ Grips as well.

Yes , those are the grips I use for IDPA . I shoot them a lot and they do not bother my hands even though they are aggressive. Even if your hands are sweating the grips feel secure.

Here they are... The bushings were out of stock so I'm waiting for those before the screws sink right.

 

 

nice !!!!!

Looks good. I think I'm gonna give it a whirl too. If too sharp, I'll break down the points with some light sanding. I noticed you got the non-beveled version. Planning to add a magwell?
