What is the WILSON COMBAT - 1911 HIGH-RIDE AMBIDEXTROUS THUMB SAFETY?

Wider, longer thumb pads with a slight downward angle give increased comfort, faster safety operation, plus better recoil control for shooters that prefer a high-thumb hold. Ambidextrous design works equally well for both right- and left-handed shooters.


SPECS: CM steel, polished blue or stainless steel bright finish. Installation may require minor gunsmithing.

Works as it should
I put this safety in an STI Spartan V 9mm for single stack steel. Took about an hour of careful fitting. There is a lot of material to work with. It shaped well, fits tight, snaps on and off with a nice "click".

-all 1911 safeties need fitting!
the better and stronger the safety is, the more fitting they usually require. Find a gunsmith, dude from Colorado!

Best Ambi safety I ever used for IPSC
This one clears the edge of your gripping hands right or left hand users. The edges are smoothed out for comfort. Aesthetically better than any ambi I ever encountered both the blued and the SS.
