    Drop-In Bevertail Grip Safety

    Posted by Anonymous on Mar 12th 2023

    Just purchased the Bevertail Grip Safety Part No. 429BG also the Value Line Hammer Part No. 455B with the Value Line Sear Part No. 314C. It is not often a company supplies the parts as advertised, but I can only say that Wilson Combat is an exceptional company. The parts were for a Springfield Mil-Spec 1911 and they were truely drop-in parts. No fitting was required and my trigger pull went from 7-8 pound to 4.75 pounds. If I need any parts for my firearms I will definately use Wilson Combat parts.

    Quality Part. Well Worth The Money. Would Recommend To Any 1911 Owner.

    I know from previous experience the top notch quality of Wilson Combat products, however before now I had never tried their drop in beavertail safety. I recently purchased a used Auto Ordinance Pit Bull 1911 very cheap. I didnt expect much from the little 45 but was very surprised at how much I loved shooting the little guy. I did however have the same problem I always have with the stock style of grip safety. The little sucker bites. Knowing the cost of having someone install a beavertail on it, I decided to try out the drop in style from Wilson Combat. I read previous reviews of people saying how happy they were with it and of its general fit and finish, however I was still surprised to find it to be a true drop in part. I needed only to remove the old one and install it. The fit is perfect! No gaps, and no need for fitting or filing of any kind. It was as if it were made specifically for my little Pit Bull 1911. The gun has a great feel to it, and the new grip safety feels as good as any of my other 1911s.

    All but dropped in. Excellent fit and finish. Just a light swipe of the file to clear the trigger bow.

    Perfect Drop In For Colt

    Posted by David Wilsman on Sep 22nd 2020

    I have a Colt Government Model 01911C, which is a new production series 70. Dropped straight in and functions better and far more comfortably that factory grip safety. Works with Harrison Design's bobbed hammer without modification.

    Excellent Quality; Not For Mil-Spec Spur Hammer

    Posted by Anonymous on Apr 16th 2020

    It's a very well-built, quality piece. However, bone-stock GI models beware: you WILL NOT be able to use this safety with a mil-spec spur hammer. The hammer will stop against the beavertail before it can reach full cock. You will have to additionally change to a bobbed spur or Commander style to be able to use this safety.

    #429Bc Beavertail Review

    Posted by Robert E. on Dec 6th 2019

    Installed this item along with #299B Hammer on my Colt .45 Gov't. Model (mfg.1966). Beavertail & Hammer fit with no adjustments, sanding or polishing. The pistol looks like it came out of the factory. Wilson add on parts fit perfectly and look great. Good job Wilson.

    Great Fit

    Posted by Terry on Apr 12th 2019

    I recently purchased a Rock Island 19911A1 and really like the way it shoots, but my big hands were taking a beating from the GI Grip Safety so I ordered a Beavertail Grip Safety, Drop In as well as a Value Line Hammer and Value Line Sear. They all fit as they were supposed to, the only difficulty was on my end getting everything lined up to go together. Everything fit without any filing, definitely dropped right in. Great work Wilson Combat.

    Dropin

    Posted by Steve on Feb 13th 2019

    Received the parts I ordered, 429BG and 455B. drop-in beavertail grip safety and value line hammer. Put these Wilson parts in my older model 70, Auto Ordnance Thompson 45. Twenty minute job start to finish. No problems, works great. Thanks to Wilson Combat, great parts for my 45.
