Hi-Capa/1911 Grips & Accessories

The grip is to provide a secure and comfortable way to hold the pistol, with the Hi-Capa's fatter grip specifically designed to accommodate a larger, double-stack magazine for higher BB capacity. Both styles often include a grip safety to prevent firing unless held correctly, and the grip itself can be customized for enhanced grip, ergonomics, and aesthetics through aftermarket parts. 

Key purposes and features:

• Higher capacity: The primary difference in Hi-Capa grips is their width, which allows for double-stack magazines holding more BBs and a larger gas reservoir than a standard 1911.

• Enhanced grip: Many grips are designed with textures or features to improve hold, especially when wearing gloves or in wet conditions.

• Safety: A grip safety is a common feature that prevents the trigger from being pulled unless the hand is gripping the pistol firmly.

• Customization: The modular nature of the Hi-Capa's grip frame, unlike a traditional 1911, where only the grip panels are replaceable, allows for extensive customization with various aftermarket grips.

• Performance and ergonomics: Aftermarket grips can offer more streamlined profiles, indexing points for consistent hand placement, and improved trigger pull feel.

• Aesthetics: Grips are a major part of a pistol's look and are available in different materials, colors, and patterns for personalization.
