What is the ED BROWN - MACHINED AMBIDEXTROUS CARRY THUMB SAFETY FOR 1911?

MACHINED AMBIDEXTROUS CARRY THUMB SAFETY FOR 1911

The Ed Brown Ambidextrous Machined Carry Thumb Safety provides a slim pad for use in concealed carry applications. This is the same as the Wide Ambidextrous Safety but with the levers trimmed to a 1/8" slender profile for better carry and concealment. This version is fully machined from stock for unbeatable quality and no chance of warping or porosity. This design uses a special hammer pin (included) to hold the safety securely, eliminating the need to modify the grips.

Designed for all 1911 type frames and made from high quality steel. Available in blued or stainless steel. Requires minor gunsmith fitting for safe operation and includes complete instructions.

Great upgrade

I bought the Ed Brown safety lever to replace the Springfield factory safety lever on a Prodigy. It dropped right in and works flawlessly. No more worrying about the ambi side walking out Bravo Zulu

Great ambi safety

I needed a low-profile ambidextrous safety for my Les Baer UTC. Fitting this Ed Brown safety was easy and it works perfectly. Very positive engagement. Clicks on and off with the right amount of resistance, very good feel.

Great Design

Great design and execution. Quality materials and workmanship. The enclosed hammer pin retains the left side safety paddle and this means no changes are needed to your grips. This is the best ambidextrous 1911 safety on the market.
