Why aren’t there any polymer *enhanced* grip modules?

I’ve seen several companies call them “enhanced,” one or two call them “CZ style,” but you know what I mean. I’m talking about the non-traditionally shaped grip modules, the ones that indent at the grip safety like you see on Atlases and Infinitys (Infinities?) and other high end DS 1911s. You can get metal ones from Cheely and Miller Precision and a bunch of other places— but have you ever seen an “enhanced” grip module made out of polymer? If so, where? If not, why not?

My 4.25 comp

I think I’m done tinkering with it for the moment. I learned a lot breaking it down over and over. I installed the OnPoint v3 grip, atlas shielded safeties, red dirt trigger. I also fitted a new grip safety but decided on the pinned safety in the end. Fitting these small parts wasn’t as difficult as you might think. I did everything myself except the cerakote. I’ve now taken apart every single part of this gun except the extractor and firing pin.

I’m trying to install a red dirt trigger specifically made for the Romulus and running into problems. Does anyone have any experience with this? Everything functions fine until I put the thumb safeties back in, then the trigger locks up and the grip safety gets a little sticky. What’s happening here? The profile of the bow is a little different than the factory bow. Do I just need to file the new bow until it’s identical to the factory one?

I can’t find anything specific online and I don’t have access to a good 2011 gunsmith. Any advice would be appreciated.

Side note: I have an aftermarket aluminum grip by onpointguns on there— but everything functioned smoothly before installing the new trigger.

What’s the best optic to direct mount on a 2011? Anything with an RMR footprint will hang over the sides. Most RMSc optics seem too small. What did you get direct mounted? Help me out! I can’t decide.
