If you're looking for improved control and comfort while shooting, the drop-in beavertail grip safety is perfect - it eliminates any discomfort or hammer bite that can come with stock grip safeties. Plus, to return your gun back to its original state, just reinstall the factory part! Our drop-in safety works great with commander style hammers and bobbed spur hammers alike; because of slight variations from one pistol to another, however, minor modifications may be needed in order for proper operation.

DISCLAIMER: Wilson Combat 1911 small parts may require minor fitting and should only be installed by a qualified gunsmith. Although these parts are intended to be drop-in, due to the range of tolerances between various manufacturers' handguns, some fitting may occasionally be necessary. We highly recommend all fitting/installation of small parts is done by a professional gunsmith.

No mention of the cut?
I ordered one of these for an older frame I'm work on (Safari Arms), and it doesn't fit. It leaves what I've come to call the "Wilson gap" between the frame and the start of the beavertail (there are one or two other issues as well, but the 'gap' is the most significant). Had this problem before with two other frames and full size Wilson grip safeties (another SA and a SW1911 I used to see if the SA frame was the problem), so I started checking. Wilson grip safeties are cut to .250, and not the .220 you see on many frames. It doesn't mention this anywhere in the description. I've also encountered some variances between identical (in theory) blued and stainless parts (thumb safeties and slide releases...all 'bullet proof). I don't expect parts to be perfect, but it's nice if you know what you're getting. Interestingly enough, Smith and Wesson parts fit perfectly into my Safari Arms frames.

Some fitting required, nice upgrade
Bought this for my Tisas Tank Commander, had to get some fitting done, and paired it with a skeletonized hammer. Lost the true historical look, but worth it and makes firing it a dream.

Colt Lw Officer'S Acp
Needed some fitting at the trigger, otherwise it was drop-in.

Minimal Fitting/Not Exactly Drop-In
This grip safety replaces my original rat tail grip safety which the web of my hand is still healing.

An Absolute Gem
The duck bill safety on my enhanced series 80 Gold Cup did not allow the pistol to settle into my hand enough to take advantage of the deeply undercut trigger guard. After some careful fitting of the trigger engagement surfaces with a jewelers file, this safety has corrected that issue. The pistol is far more comfortable to shoot now, and I notice a reduction in felt recoil. The memory pad is smaller and somewhat less pronounced than the Brown safety on my new Dan Wesson, but quite frankly fits my hand better, and engagement/disengagement is no less positive. Fit of this drop-in is actually to closer tolerances than the factory Colt safety. The flats on the beaver tail dont match well with those on the frame, but as a form follows function guy, this bothers me little. I recommend the Wilson 429BC to anyone who does not wish to modify/refinish their receiver. It simply works as advertised.

Would Buy Again
The grip safety fit the frame well and fits the hand well after fitting. I like the pad at the end of safety for positive engagement. The trigger stop has plenty of metal to allow to be fitted to a wide range of frames. Mine I had to shorten the length of the stop and bottom so the trigger bow would clear. Did not take a long time to fit.

Colt Lw Commander
I bought this to replace the duckbill grip safety on my Colt LW Commander. It took me about 45 minutes of careful filing; checking, filing; checking...and it works perfectly and looks great! I just read up on it here and took my time. I am very pleased with the results. Thanks Wilson Combat.

Great Part!
Against poor expectations based on the experts telling me an aftermarket beavertail would never work, this dropped into my llama firestorm compact with only minimal fitting. It looks great, works like a charm and I could not be happier. Thanks for a great part.

Colt 1991A1 Compact
High quality drop in part with minimal fitting on my compact. Eventhough the safety is made for a commander it will fit real nice after a little work. Small amount of filing required to clear trigger bar and mainspring housing. Very nice fit at the frame and looks great. Im not a gunsmith and it wasnt hard to make this fit nicely on an officers size 1911. Great product.
