A great tool...indispensable for fitting a beaver tail grip safety...
I was a bit apprehensive about installing a beaver tail grip safety as once you remove metal there's no putting it back. But...it was a pretty simple operation and looks great once done. Just follow the directions and be careful...file...test fit...file and fit...repeat until done. The first time I did it took a total of about two hours but the end result was worth it. This is a fine tool for the purpose.

MUST HAVE ITEM
This jig was just what the dr. ordered. My first time doing anything like this and the end result was outstanding. Looks like the gun came with this beavertail safety. Thanks Brownells for carrying this jig at an affordable price

Just the ticket for a successful install
A sharp flat file with slow even strokes provides for a very professional looking install. Absolutely the best way to install the Ed Brown grip safety. Some fine sandpaper and polishing gave way to a very professional looking install. The absolute best tool for the job.
