1911 grips
Hi, can anyone tell me the frame width of a commander/officer model 45acp please. I have a s/armory emp3 with a frame width of 3/4". Thinking of buying Houge commander size rubber grips an cutting them down to fit the emp, if possible. Any help always appreciated, Thanks.

Hogue and other rubber grips usually have a steel mesh in 'em. Kind of like reinforced concrete. Cutting 'em leaves the mesh end out.
Anyway, Hogue (et al) makes grip for 'compact' 1911 style pistols. https://www.hogueinc.com/grips/1911/officers

Thanks, the steel mesh would make this project more difficult. Sorry, i failed to mention i contacted Hogue and they said the inside dimension is wider than 3/4" but did not know just how wide it is. May just have find a different route for grips. Thanks.
