Colt 1911 Government Grips ? Double Diamond Rosewood with Gold Medallions, Full Size

If you own a Colt 1911 Government model and you’re tired of looking at factory plastic or beat-up wood, these Colt 1911 Government Grips give your pistol the classic look it deserves. Solid double-diamond checkered rosewood with inlaid gold medallions, the same panel style Colt has been using on Government models since the early 1900s, now built with modern CNC precision.

The double-diamond pattern is the original 1911 grip design. Two smooth diamond areas around each grip screw, flanked by checkering for hand contact. It’s the look that says “this is a 1911” before anyone even reads the slide. Pair it with a blued Series 70, a stainless Series 80, or any case-hardened Custom Shop Government build and these grips fit the heritage.

What about the rosewood?

Laminated rosewood, denser and more stable than solid wood across temperature and humidity. That matters for a 1911 you actually shoot or carry, because solid wood panels can warp or crack with seasonal changes. The grain runs deep and dark, and the gold medallions sit flush against the rosewood for a tone-on-tone aesthetic that suits dress carry and presentation builds.

Will these fit my pistol?

Standard full-size 1911 frame with 3-1/16″ screw spacing, drop in for Colt Government, Commander, Series 70, Series 80, M1991A1, and Custom Shop Government models. Also fits Colt 1911 Government clones from Kimber, Springfield Armory, Remington R1, Ruger SR1911, S&W SW1911, Sig 1911, Rock Island Armory, Tisas, Taurus, and GSG. Won’t fit Officer-size compact 1911s or double-stack 2011 frames — those use different grip frames.
