What is the WILSON COMBAT - 1911 EXTENDED THUMB SAFETY?

Single side design with serrated surface provides fast, positive operation and a comfortable thumb position with minimal bulk for easier carry. Wide - Extra large, full-length thumb pad can be used full size for maximum thumb ­engagement or custom contoured to meet special requirements.

Minimum size is ideal for concealed carry. Bullet Proof® (BP) models are precision machined from billet steel for installations where only the best in fit, finish, strength, and durability will do. Available with traditional left-side only thumb pad or ambidextrous pads for maximum tactical efficiency. Low Lever – Slim, Tactical-style pad is positioned low for faster thumb contact and rapid, short-throw disengagement.

Exactly as described.
You cant go wrong with Wilson Combat or Brownells! As expected, it took a few strokes of a file and its good to go. Safety is smooth and positive. Brownells shipping was right on top of it too.

Great fit!
I put this in a Nighthawk build after botching the fit of the first one. I fit this one with the 10-8 Performance armorers block which I also recommend. Everything is functioning as it should.
