I believe the older DW models were equipped with "universal" bushings and would assume that the newer models have them as well. If that is true, I am thinking you would only need new / longer screws.

If you decide to change out the bushings, I would recommend going with Challis Hex Head bushings, bushing o-rings, grip screws and grip screw o-rings. Removing the factory bushings can be a challenge and it is easy to damage the threads in your aluminum frame. (Don't ask me how I know.) The Challis Grip Screw Bushing removal tool is worth its weight in gold and will remove stubborn grip screw bushings with ease. One more thing, I always use stainless bushings in aluminum frames.

Take a minute and look at the "About Us" page on the Challis site. You will be impressed.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

+1 for the Challis recommendation. They have not failed me yet.

 

You can use the stock bushings, just get longer grip screws

 

If it's post 2017-2018 they have universal bushings. But it still doesn't matter. Full thickness grips will work on slim bushings. It's the other way around that doesn't works. Just get standard length grip screws

 

Harrisons for work and Spressers faux ivory for dress.
These are both thins but they can do fulls.

 

I generally don't use thin grips on 1911s.


I quickly swapped grips on my .38 Super Guardian when it arrived.

The existing bushings worked fine for the normal thickness grips I tried.

 

Thanks for the info. I’ve ordered VZ Frag grips in green & standard screws.
