Andy, the guy who made my Monkey grips is a friend of my son. Larry made those beautiful grips for my Taurus on my profile page. He will cut the ambitextrous safety inlet for you if you request it.

There is something you should know about the Taurus 1911’s. They don’t use the same diameter grip screws as the Colt’s. The Colts were always too small for the grips and Taurus corrected that. You may check to see if you have the Colt diameter screw head of the Taurus before sending for the grips. I had to cut the screw heads down because I didn’t want Larry’s beautiful grips to be destroyed by me. It was cheaper and easier to cut the screws down on a pedestal grinder.

Fixing the typo

You may check to see if you have the Colt diameter screw head OR the Taurus before sending for the grips.

You’re absolutely right, and thanks for the reminder. Those monkey grips are both beautiful and functional, and quite reasonably priced.
