No problem. Just remove the grips to access the main spring housing pin. Should do that anyway rather than chance damaging quality grips.

But to your point, you're right. I also noticed my custom buffalo horn grips don't have the semi-circular cut for the mainspring housing pin. on the lower back corner, and I'm wondering if this could be a problem.

You're good to go. Like Dennis said, that cut out is only there so that you can remove the mainspring housing without removing the grips.

Personally, none of my grips have the cutout. I don't like the look.

Agree, I have both but prefer the clean look of the sharp edge covering the pin.

Congrats!

1911's are just really nice guns! My favorite handgun in the safe might be one of my S&W revos but for autoloaders ... nothing comes close to the class, style and sweet shooting of that classic JMB design.
