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.

Does not fit Colt Gold Cup National Match
Dropped in fine, but the hammer on my 2024 Gold Cup National Match interfered with the safety. Removed a significant amount of material to eliminate the interference.

Not A Complete "Drop-In"

Did Not Fit My Early Ria Twin Pines 1911A1
Filing of the trigger engagement area was not sufficient to bring the tab up high enough into alignment to allow the trigger to slide under it. The lower area of the grip safety did not fit properly into the milled frame recess in the grip without filing that area too. Also, the opening for the horn area on the frame at the beaver tail bound as well without extensive filing of this part. Even after modifying all of these areas to fit the tab that stops the trigger when "on safe" would not raise raise high enough to allow the trigger bow to pass below it when the safety was fully squeezed. It is almost as if the pivot hole was too low in my frame or the hole in the safety too high for this to ever work in my frame.

Not For Gi Spur Hammer.
It does say it's intended for use with a Commander-style hammer or a BOBBED spur hammer, after all. I suppose I was swayed more by the list of models it would fit; my full-size stock RIA was included, so I assumed (incorrectly) no other changes would be needed. It did fit inside the frame well upon installation--however, it physically blocks the travel of the hammer. You cannot achieve full cock.

This fit perfect in my Remington R1 1911

Did Drop Right In.
Installed in my series 70 GM. Works as good if not better than factory.

Ria 1911 A1 Mid Size
This dropped right in, and fits ALMOST perfectly. There is a little more resistance to the fit than factory, but will likely smooth right out with some use, or a competent smith work over.

Rock Island Arms 1911

Doesnt Fit A Springfield Mil Spec
I love that Wilson is an Arkansas company, but this part leaves a large 3/16 or so gap between the radius of the frame and beavertail.
