I had a hogue slip-on that I tried.
It didn't stay put too well, and wasn't too comfy. A 1911 grip mod REALLY improved the pistol!

read numerous threads where many have ground the frame and installed the colt officers model 1911 grips.

I have Hogue wrap arounds on my 22/45, pretty much a twin to bscman's, and it is very nice. I used Hogues for a full-size 1911 though.

+1 on the Full Size (Commander) grips.
I didn't catch that on my first read.

Yes, you can get them in a "standard" thickness as well as a "slim" or "CCW" thickness with is generally very thin.

There are some out there that are thicker, or than have palm swells and slightly different profiles that will feel thick....though I can't specifically point you in the direction of a "thick" 1911 grip.

Many of the custom made wood grips can be had "thick" by special request...but you're likely looking at $50+ for the pair.

If you look in my "22/45 mods, my way" thread you'll find measurements of my factory 22/45 grip, as well as the hogue 1911 grip I installed. I'll tell you it fills the hand MUCH better!
