1911 BEAVERTAIL GRIP SAFETY

841370101337 296000184

Description
Ratings (8)

Beavertail grip safety machined from solid barstock is left slightly oversized at critical points to allow the gunsmith to achieve a true custom fit. Beavertail is wider than the frame so it can be fit to the frame instead of the frame to the beavertail, and helps you ensure a snug, rattle-free fit. Overall length is longer at the bottom and the angle is a match to fill the gap between the mainspring housing and the safety. Radius is .245" to fit frames that are pre-cut to .250". Pin hole is finish reamed to .158" to further improve fit and function. Large contact pad ensures positive engagement when the hand grasps the gun. .220 Radius grip safeties are made to fit Springfield and Caspian frames.

Carbon steel, blued, or stainless steel, natural silver, both with a matte finish. Fits 1911 Auto Series 70 only. Gunsmith fitting required.

Perfect for SA 1911's (07/02/2017)

I'd been wanting to work on an SA 1911 that I'd originally bought as a project gun which I bought . When I'd finally gotten around to it, I started looking here. Luckily EGW makes one that fits to SA model frames. I took the advice of staff here and bought the right jig for a .220 radius and after filling and fitting, it works perfectly. Fitting is required, and while yes one could list that it's a "con" that it's necessary, anyone who works on 1911's knows no part is truly 'drop in'.

Fit to finish is nice, and the radius was perfect. I'll be looking at EGW parts if I'm looking at working on other SA 1911's.

Drop-In Fit in Springfield Range Officer (05/05/2013)

This product was purchased to replace the original, which was broken in an unsuccessful fitting attempt. The pistol is a Springfield Armory Range Officer, purchased new in early 2013.

This part is a drop-in fit for the gun. There was a tiny bit of resistance as it was slipped into the frame, but after cycling it a few times it is perfectly smooth. The safety functions perfectly and it has had no adverse effect on any other aspect of operation of the gun.

This part is a slightly darker color than the original (which is very dark gray), and is more black than blue, but I'm willing to accept the difference in exchange for the fit and function.

This continues my 100% successful streak when I buy EGW parts.

Great high quality (04/10/2015)

Got this for my SA Trophy Match in 4 days from my research and order. All I can say is Thank You Brownells for helping me learn and become a better arms fixer.

Worst beaver tail (21/07/2017)

This is the worst beaver tail I've seen doesn't fit and after hours of grinding and fileing it still dosent fit don't waste your money.

.220 Springfield (10/02/2013)

I purchased the .220 radius grip safety, specifically made for Springfields (the 1st one I have ever found). It did not work on a Range Officer. After filing the sides to get it to fit, there is still a very noticible gap between the "beaver tail" and the frame.... Still waiting on the aftermarket to help me out.

very nice (21/05/2014)

pretty much dropped into my Kimber Custom 2..had to fit the arm to not rub against the frame,adjust for the swartz safety,barely touch the radius.minimal blending....great function great look..very happy with this part!

This was a good choice (28/06/2017)

I bought the .250 radius safety for a build on a ruger frame and slide. Very minimal fitting required and is a huge improvement over the stock part. Very nice and snug fit and will be easily blended, EGW wasn't kidding about how this easily fits the Ruger Sr 1911. Of course service from Brownells was excellent.

EGW BEAVERTAIL GRIP SAFETY (24/01/2012)

EGW is always top quality and looking to improve their products and know what a gunsmith needs. Most frames that are factory cut for .250 beavertails are made for a drop in fit. This means a loose fit with a gap leaving two options, install a .220 S&A beavertail or weld up the rear and recut and blend.
With the over sized EGW beavertail you will have to remove the last .005" of the frame tang to get a hair line fit and on top of that cut it flush with the sides of the frame. This gives a true, hair line and full width beavertail as it should be.

EGW is always worth the extra expense as they never let you down.
