The Original Dragon Scales Grip – Fix Your 2011’s Bulky Feel
Say goodbye to oversized, slippery 2011 grips that fight your hand. The Extreme Shooters Dragon Scales Black Grip - the original and best custom texture featured on STI DVC models—transforms your Staccato, STI or other 2011 model into a natural extension of your hand. With thousands of shooters trusting this upgrade, it’s the industry’s go-to for ergonomic control, tighter groups, and a premium feel. Please note a gen 1 mag catch is required for this grip module and minimum magazine size is the 126mm.
Why Your 2011/1911DS Needs This:
Factory Staccato and STI 2011 grips are notoriously hard to hold—too big, not ergonomic, and prone to slip. We solve that!
- Grip Reduction: We reshape and recontour the polymer for a slimmer profile that fits your hand like a glove.
- Double Undercuts: Added to the trigger guard for a higher purchase, more control, less recoil, and two index points for your strong and weak hands.
- Dragon Scales Texture: Our signature hand-stippled pattern adds just the right amount of grit in rain, sweat, or heat.
The result? A custom 2011 grip that boosts accuracy, improves control, easier reloads and feels tailor-made perfect for conceal carry, or casual shooting.

This grip is excellent. Ordered it to use on a 2011 build for a Cheely Custom frame. Easy install and feels great in the hand. Customer service from Extreme Shooters is excellent as well. I mistakenly ordered the incorrect screw package for the grips. The response was quick and friendly. They even upgraded me to the correct screws with no extra charge! I would recommend them for any 2011 pistol

I bought the Dragon Scale grip module for my DVC P and I could not be happier. The only natural course of action was to try out the Tree Bark grip next for the Staccato P Duo I have coming. I will follow up again once I have this installed and get out to the range again. Thank you Extreme Shooters Grips!

Customer review
This grip mod turns a block of plastic into probably the best handgun you've ever owned. The STi line is arguably a very good gun but the new grip style on the Staccatos leave much to be desired. I bought it anyway due to the reliability and quality, but it was not comfortable. I read about Extreme Shooters and decide to give it a shot. This was money WELL spent. Price is very reasonable and the turn around time was quick! Two individuals that had shot my Staccato a week before said they didn't like the gun, both of them were astounded at the difference after Jason trimmed it down and one of them is now buying a Staccato. This is a first rate outfit!

I have a 2020 staccato XC with the improved Gen 2 grip. Unfortunately not an improvement at all compared to my DVC three with dragon scale grip. Rubbery, too wide for my hands, etc. I ordered the dragon scale grip which arrived at my house quite quickly. My gunsmith installed it without any problems. This grip makes the top end pistol even more of a dream gun. The way it should be. Thanks Jason and Extreme Shooters!

Just wanted to say thank you for the World Class Customer Service. I purchased a new grip for my STI Hawk 5.0 last Monday and recieved it on Friday. Had the new grip installed by that afternoon and used it in a 3 gun match on Sunday. The grip was easy to install, looks and feels amazing.

Installed on my STI Apeiro, and dang, this grip is indeed perfect. The texture is exactly what I was hoping for and the cut is great. One of the better upgrades I've made to the gun. This grip won't disappoint you.

Bought a used STI Executive with a nasty grip. I called Jason and ordered the new DVC grip and had it painted Grey. The pistol looks amazing. Jason spent time discussing my thoughts and when I needed the grip by. He jumped right on it and now I have the gun I wanted. Superb service. Great product. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.

Customer review
You guys are great! I have not received my grips yet, but I called Extreme Shooters today to see if my grips had shipped due to my STI having a cracked grip. I did not notice that when I placed ordered, the grips I selected were backordered two to three weeks. When I called, the person I spoke to was very courteous. I explained that I had a major USPSA match coming up and I had been running with a cracked grip. The salesperson told me there were no grips readily available, but he could make me a set and ship them out THE SAME DAY when he finished; and, sure enough..it had shipped by 4:00pm today. Extreme Shooters Customer Service is top notch, no question and I have no doubt their product speaks for itself in volumes also!

I received my All Black Textured STI Grips on Saturday. The install was a snap and they look cool. Went to the range today, all I can say is WOW, they function great. They fit my hand prefect, the reduction was just the right amount. The scale texture not only looks good, but the retention they provide is amazing. The under cuts are perfectly placed. These are all around winner. Keep up the good work and I'll be back for more products.
