Here's a detailed overview of the Wilson Combat Grips 1911 Commander Black Cherry 738-FS-BB-BC (also known as Wilson Combat Full-Size Aggressive Starburst G10 Grips in Black Cherry with Beveled Bottom).
These are premium G10 grip panels from Wilson Combat, featuring an aggressive Starburst texture pattern in a striking Black Cherry color. They are designed for full-size 1911 pistols, including Government models, Commander, Professional, and Long-Slide variants. The "738-FS-BB-BC" SKU indicates Full-Size (FS), Beveled Bottom (BB), and Black Cherry (BC) with the aggressive Starburst pattern.
Key Features & Specs
- Material: High-quality G10 composite — extremely durable, lightweight, and resistant to moisture, oils, and solvents. Provides a solid, non-flexing feel.
- Pattern: Aggressive Starburst texture — deep, directional cuts that offer exceptional grip even when hands are wet, oily, or bloody. Ideal for hard use, competition, or defensive applications.
- Bottom Profile: Beveled Bottom (BB) — contoured/beveled edges for a smoother, more comfortable transition at the base of the grip, reducing printing and improving concealment or holster fit compared to flat-bottom versions.
- Color & Finish: Black Cherry (a rich, deep reddish-brown/maroon tone with subtle variations for a premium look).
- Medallion: Pewter Wilson Combat logo medallion for a classic, high-end appearance.
- Cutouts: Ambidextrous safety cut (compatible with ambi safeties).
- Weight: Approximately 3 oz per pair (lightweight upgrade that doesn't add unnecessary bulk).
- Fit: Direct drop-in replacement for standard full-size 1911 grip screws (screws not included; use your existing ones or Wilson Combat's). Fits Government, Commander, and similar full-size frames.
These grips excel at providing superior traction and control during rapid fire or adverse conditions while maintaining a refined, attractive appearance. The Starburst pattern is one of Wilson Combat's most popular aggressive textures — it bites into your hand for security without being overly abrasive for extended range sessions. Users frequently praise the fit, feel, and how the Black Cherry color adds a distinctive, tactical-yet-elegant touch to stainless or blued 1911s.
Who It's For
- 1911 owners (especially Commander and Government models) wanting enhanced grip texture for better control.
- Competition shooters, defensive carriers, or enthusiasts seeking a durable, good-looking upgrade over factory plastic or wood grips.
- Users who prefer a beveled bottom for comfort and reduced printing.
Note: This is the full-size version (not compact/Officer).
