I have a Colt Officers model that I want to carry. I am considering some CT laser grips. How much bulk do they add? I had some on a 229 years ago and they were pretty chunky.

I have a Kimber Compact which is 4 inch slide - Officer's frame combination. I've had CT grips on it for 3 years now and I don't find it bulky at all.

Greg, since the Officer's model CT grips are no thicker than the standard 5" 1911 version I do not see how it would make any difference.

My carry 1911 has an officers frame and a commander barrel, and came with slim grips.

I found slim grips to aid a lot in concealment, and noticed a very slight increase in possible printing when i switched to CTC grips. However, with the right shirt/holster combination it still conceals well.

No problems here on CT grips on an Officers ACP. No noticable difference over stock grips and I have small hands.
