What is the WILSON COMBAT - 1911 BEAVERTAIL GRIP SAFETY?

Wide grip safety spreads recoil out over a larger area of the hand for increased comfort. Standard Model beavertails feature a flared "tail" that quickly guides hand into position and totally eliminates hammer bite on the web between the thumb and finger. High Grip Model has an upswept "tail" that pushes the wrist into a straight position for faster sight pickup and recovery, and a raised pad for positive palm contact. Requires contouring frame and fitting to the trigger stirrup.


SPECS: Satin finished stainless, blued steel or aluminum alloy. .835" (21.2mm) from rear of hole to tip. Fits Series 70 & 80/90 with firing pin block.

I have used this part in the past. the part works well but had to make minor adjustments to the part to fit it to work properly. once fitted to the gun had no issues with fit form or function. The part is reasonably priced to make it affordable.

Easy Peasy!
I purchased this grip safety to replace the original grip safety on my Rock Island Armory 1911 G.I. model 45 ACP. I watched a pro perform this operation on YouTube and followed exactly what he did. This truly is a drop in safety, and was extremely easy to put in with no modifications, other than a commander style drop in hammer, to the pistol what so ever. It was that simple, and now I don't get the old hammer bite, complete with bloody skin, when I shoot the pistol. I am extremely pleased that I found this through Brownell's and I will now buy all my gun parts through this fine company.

A must have addition to any 1911.
Just finished installation on my para GI expert and couldnt be more pleased with appearence and feel. A radius jig is a must for installation. Take your time and be patient and you will be very pleased. BTW I polished the beaver tail to a mirror finish but that just my prefference. Now lets go puts some rounds through it.
