I already mailed a tracing BEFORE I placed this order.

Pink Pearl This is the Browning 1910 (and also the same gun imported into the USA in 1955 and called the "1955 model") grip, designed to solve a problem with the original design. The gun has a backstrap safety, which has to be depressed with the web of your hand between thumb and trigger finger primarily, in order to allow the gun to fire. But the problem is that with normal same-thickness grips, it is easy to pull the trigger without applying enough force to the grip safety to fully disengage it.

The rear edge of the grip, and the normal thickness of a factory style grip at the top, tends to position the hand so that if you are in a hurry to fire, you might not get a straight-on grip that pushes down the grip safety fully because your hand will engage grip edge first.

This grip has an ambidextrous finger groove or thinned channel near the top, which both guides your trigger finger and thumb, and gets the web of your hand closer to the rear frame rather than stopping it against both rear grip edges at the top. This gives you more leverage on the grip safety even if your hand isn't in the ideal position (think "defensive action" rather than aiming at a nice stationary target that isn't about to harm you).

I tried this idea after failure to fire issues with this gun during more than one "BUG" practical pistol scenario. (BUG means Back Up Gun, and is both a lot of fun and quite revealing as to how your equipment and you might function under even the mild competitive stress of hitting the right targets with a clock running and doing everything correctly.)

It turned out that the grip safety, while functioning perfectly with a normal and proper grip, would fail to fully engage (or actually, disengage) when I was thinking about all the things that had to be done in a few seconds from various moving positions, using available cover, and having a less than perfect grasp of the pistol. But with the groove and thinned front and rear top sections on the grip, the problem went away. The gun also came to a more natural hold or at least my hand found a familiar position more rapidly than on a straight uniform thickness of grip. Edge view

The smooth surface shows off pearl and translucent effects much better than a checkered one. It is easier to clean and easier to keep in good repair since minor dings are easy to sand and polish (unlike a checkered surface).

The grip comes with two spacers, which you epoxy to the back after sanding to fit exactly in the magazine well cut-outs. These keep the grip from moving and the screw keeps them clamped snugly on the gun.

The grip normally will be sent with a 2-56 mounting kit installed, unless you check the box indicating otherwise. In that case I will send the screw kit separately, so you can decide to use it later or use the factory screw instead.

    Dimensions:
  • Top width = 1.3 inches
  • Bottom width = 1.4 inches
  • Overall height at front = 3.0 inches
  • Center of hole to top = 1.52 inches
  • Center of hole to bottom = 1.42 inches
  • Center of hole to grip rear edge = 0.30 inches
  • Grip thickness (aprox) = 0.30 inches
