Pachmayr American Legend Walnut Grips – Colt 1911 Government

The Pachmayr American Legend Walnut Grips (brand part number 00423) bring the classic look of wood to a Government-size Colt 1911 without giving up Pachmayr’s recoil control. Pachmayr faces each panel in American Walnut finished to a varnish shine, then bonds it to a layer of Decelerator rubber that soaks up felt recoil the bare wood grips found on most 1911s can’t match. The open backstrap design trims the bulk many wood grips add to the frame, and the traditional finger-groove panels help index the hand the same way, shot after shot. It’s a straightforward way to get a heritage look on a full-size 1911 carry or range gun without sacrificing control.
