I just got my newest 1911 and went to change the grips to Navidrex slimlines when- uh oh- I discovered that one of the bushings had been repaired with an oversized bushing. I've searched around but I can't find anyone who makes a slim oversized bushing.

Does anyone know of such a product?

Failing that, might it be possible to carefully file down a regular height bushing?

And lastly, if all else fails, what grips do people like for guys with small hands that make use of normal bushings? Navidrex makes a contoured grip- has anyone got an opinion on those?

Thanks for the help.
