1911 full size Round Butt grips
1911 full size Round Butt grips
The 1911 full size Round Butt platform modifies the classic Government model 1911—John Browning's timeless 1911 design—with a rounded mainspring housing (often called round heel, round butt, or fastback). This contours the lower rear grip frame by removing the sharp square edge, using an Officer’s-style mainspring and pin for a smoother profile. Retaining the full 5-inch barrel, steel frame/slide, single-action trigger, thumb safety, grip safety, and 7+1 .45 ACP capacity, it excels in concealed carry by reducing printing and improving comfort against the body. Popular in custom builds from Ed Brown (Bobtail-inspired), Wilson Combat, Smith & Wesson (e.g., scandium Commander variants adapted), and others, it balances legendary reliability, accuracy, and power with enhanced everyday carry ergonomics
The 1911 full size Round Butt grips by Gun grips X Svechnikov Workshop were developed as a fusion of tradition and modern craftsmanship. Inspired by the iconic 1911 platform, the workshop focuses on custom grip panels made from carefully selected hardwoods, including maple, walnut and exotic species. Each set are dyed and finished by hand, with attention to grain, texture, and ergonomics. Through constant experimentation with visual patterns and tactile feel, these custom 1911 grips enhance control, comfort, and aesthetics for enthusiasts and collectors alike
