Plus, to return your gun back to its original state, just reinstall the factory part!

DISCLAIMER: Wilson Combat 1911 small parts may require minor fitting and should only be installed by a qualified gunsmith.

We highly recommend all fitting/installation of small parts is done by a professional gunsmith.

    Doesnt Fit 1911Builders Officers Model 80% Frame

    Posted by Sco on Jun 3rd 2017

    I believe the 1911builders frames are made by Para Ordnance but not sure. This product was however very well made and Im saving it for another project. Just thought since it is advertised as fitting the commander and officer models people ought to know it doesnt fit them all.

    It Did Drop Right In

    Posted by Robert Greer on May 7th 2015

    Installed it on my Colt Lightweight Commander in about 15 minutes. I was a little intimidated about doing it myself because if it did need fitting I didnt feel qualified to work on the fire control parts. Not to worry about this safety on my particular 1911. Recommend anyone with the old style safety to give it a try. Totally satisfied and extremely happy.

    Not A Drop-In For The Sr1911 But With Tooling It Eventually Fit

    Posted by Anonymous on Mar 2nd 2015

    I bought both the 429SG and the 429SC to see what would fit the SR1911 the best. Dont even bother with the 429SG. Not the right shape. The 429SC is the right part for the SR1911. The best thing to do is pull the factory grip safety and copy the finger shape and size. From there you will make minor adjustments for your specific fitment. Wet/Dry sandpaper on the sides of the grip safety was needed for me so it wouldnt stick. I never assume anything is truly drop-in. I still buy Wilson products over others because of their quality.

    Grip Safety Install

    Posted by Albert M on Feb 21st 2014

    Took 2 minutes to determine how much material to remove from trigger back plate contact and frame contact points. Took 1 mute to remove material. Beautiful finish. Works perfectly.

    Not Quite Drop-In

    Posted by P W on Aug 24th 2013

    I purchased this for a 1978 Colt Combat Commander and upon installing the part the safety pin would not go in. I had to grind the Beavertail Grip Safety to get it to conform to the CC tangs. After an hour or so of grinding and re-fitting i finally got the grip safety pin to install. Minor reduction of the BGS where it contacts the trigger was needed as well. Now that its installed I am very happy as i didnt change the frame and can reinstall the original grip safety at any time.

    Some Fitting Required

    Posted by S F on Jul 28th 2012

    Bought for my colt officer. Im a novice and this was my first upgrade. I had to watch a lot of you tube to show me the way but once I understood how the parts all worked fitting was a breeze.

    Awesome Piece

    Posted by Anonymous on Jul 25th 2012

    Purchased for a 70 Series Colt Commander. Did require a very little bit of fitting / filing on the trigger connect but once it was fitted it dropped right in. No modifications required to the frame of the gun. 10 minute job!!!
