Fits well
This safety fit my Colt 1991A1 frame well with minor fitting. It looks great and makes the pistol much more pleasant to shoot. No more hammer bite on my fat hand!

Drops right into my Para GI Expert
The 429BG fit my Para GI Expert and functions perfectly with no modification. There is about a 3/32 gap between the tips of tang and the wide "tail" part of the safety, but doesn't cause any pinching or other problems so far. Everywhere else is a perfect fit. Very happy with this product.
