The main problem a lot of guys have with the slip-on grips (either Pachmeyer or Hogue) is that if they don't fit just right, they won't stay tight on the grip.
In any event, the slip-on grip would need to be removed to disassemble the pistol.

I am considering the grip mod. on my 22/45. I am not real well versed on the Colt .45 parts but wonder... Do the aftermarket suppliers have different thicknesses available? I noticed my frame had the "grip" thicker at the top than bottom where they are nearly flush in comparison. Are .45 grips available in varying thicknesses? I would like them a bit "chubby" if possible.

They're available thinner than standard. I don't know about fatter. If they are, they'll advertise them as such.

Yep, fullsize.
