This is a smooth, thicker version of the Colt Mustang grip.
It provides a more hand-filling hold than the standard
thinner factory grip, and looks great with pearl, amber,
walnut burl, opal and other translucent effects.
The grip was patterned after a modern (2012) production
model of the Mustang Pocketlight. It may fit other versions,
but the only way to make sure is to send a tracing drawn
around your existing grips on a 3 x 5 index card with the
screw holes accurately marked. There are tolerances and
variations in the same model of most guns, especially
those which are not standard military issue. Whereas a
1911 Colt uses the same screw size, it is highly specified
and standardized for grip screw location. Civilian models
tend to vary with time, replacement production fixtures, little tweaks
in the design, and just plain old manufacturing tolerances.
Want to get it right the first time? A tracing can save
the day.
This grip is especially good for medallions, pearl effects,
and for people who have some scrimshaw or carving skills
to apply. The material is easier to carve than wood, bone,
or ivory and has no grain to split or chip.
I like a somewhat thicker grip on a small gun, and don't
think it makes much different at all to the "print" of
the gun through concealment clothing. But if you want
the absolute thinnest grip that still works, choose the
checkered one instead. This grip has just a bit of a
contour to help you control the gun instinctively.

grips are flat on the back, without the 0.250-inch mounting
stud hole found on the service pistol.
