What is the EGW - BEAVERTAIL GRIP SAFETY - STAINLESS STEEL?

Beavertail grip safety machined from solid barstock is left slightly oversized at critical points to allow the gunsmith to achieve a true custom fit. Beavertail is wider than the frame so it can be fit to the frame instead of the frame to the beavertail, and helps you ensure a snug, rattle-free fit. Overall length is longer at the bottom and the angle is a match to fill the gap between the mainspring housing and the safety. Radius is .245" to fit frames that are pre-cut to .250". Pin hole is finish reamed to .158" to further improve fit and function. Large contact pad ensures positive engagement when the hand grasps the gun. .220 Radius grip safeties are made to fit Springfield and Caspian frames.

Carbon steel, blued, or stainless steel, natural silver, both with a matte finish. Fits 1911 Auto Series 70 only. Gunsmith fitting required.

This was a good choice

I bought the .250 radius safety for a build on a ruger frame and slide. Very minimal fitting required and is a huge improvement over the stock part. Very nice and snug fit and will be easily blended, EGW wasn't kidding about how this easily fits the Ruger Sr 1911. Of course service from Brownells was excellent.

Perfect for SA 1911's

I'd been wanting to work on an SA 1911 that I'd originally bought as a project gun which I bought . When I'd finally gotten around to it, I started looking here. Luckily EGW makes one that fits to SA model frames. I took the advice of staff here and bought the right jig for a .220 radius and after filling and fitting, it works perfectly. Fitting is required, and while yes one could list that it's a "con" that it's necessary, anyone who works on 1911's knows no part is truly 'drop in'. Fit to finish is nice, and the radius was perfect. I'll be looking at EGW parts if I'm looking at working on other SA 1911's.

Great high quality

Got this for my SA Trophy Match in 4 days from my research and order. All I can say is Thank You Brownells for helping me learn and become a better arms fixer.

very nice

pretty much dropped into my Kimber Custom 2..had to fit the arm to not rub against the frame,adjust for the swartz safety,barely touch the radius.minimal blending....great function great look..very happy with this part!

Drop-In Fit in Springfield Range Officer

This product was purchased to replace the original, which was broken in an unsuccessful fitting attempt. The pistol is a Springfield Armory Range Officer, purchased new in early 2013. This part is a drop-in fit for the gun. There was a tiny bit of resistance as it was slipped into the frame, but after cycling it a few times it is perfectly smooth. The safety functions perfectly and it has had no adverse effect on any other aspect of operation of the gun. This part is a slightly darker color than the original (which is very dark gray), and is more black than blue, but I'm willing to accept the difference in exchange for the fit and function. This continues my 100% successful streak when I buy EGW parts.
