With the High Ride Beavertail Grip Safety, you can enjoy improved comfort and control of your 1911 handgun.
With the High Ride Beavertail Grip Safety, you can enjoy improved comfort and control of your 1911 Auto. This is possible due to its design that positions your shooting hand closer to the plane of the bore while evenly dispersing recoil across a wide rounded surface for an exceptional experience every time. Our High Ride Safety is designed for your safety, with a raised Posi-Release tab that allows you to quickly disengage the grip while serving as an anchor point so that you always keep the same grip. Additionally, the top of this feature features a hammer pocket which allows commander or bobbed spur hammers to nestle into it when cocked and remain snag-free during drawing.
To install a Wilson High Ride beavertail, the frame must first be carefully cut. Fortunately, our fitting jig attaches to the hammer and thumb safety pin holes so that you can precisely file down your weapon without overcutting it. When done correctly, only a few thousandths of an inch should remain for final adjustments to ensure perfect alignment. To make sure you get everything right on your very first try, complete instructions are included with every purchase!

- High Ride grip

DISCLAIMER: This Wilson Combat 1911 part will require fitting for optimal function. We STRONGLY RECOMMEND that all modifications needed for this part be installed by a professional gunsmith. Self-installation is NOT recommended and could potentially cause damage to the firearm or yourself.

Worth The Time
This is definitely a project that requires time. However, it is well worth the hours invested. Using the Wilson jig youll be within a few thousandths after filing. It really depends on the effort you apply, but after about 3 1/2 hours getting the lines perfect it fit and functioned perfectly in my RIA G.I. Great quality look and goes like peanut butter and jelly with the Retro Commander Hammer. Wilson hit this one out of the park!

Perfect For My Needs
This replaced a very old but wonderfully serviceable wilson dropped sytle grip safety from the 70s or early 80s. Wanted this gun to be like my other 1911s with the High Ride style. Fitting it was fine and was not a problem as my cut ws already a .220 radius. I just had to fit the trigger engagement and the frt. nose of that portion of the safety. Works great and feels like the rest of my guns now. I recommend this part to anyone who has a working knowledge of 1911s and has a skill set to fit parts to one another. Pros are that it can be fitted for your grip style. Cons is you SHOULD know what your doing!!!

Full Fit Means Full Fit!
Let me preface everything I say by saying that the piece fits great, looks amazing, and functions flawlessly... However, It took a ton of work even with the jig for fitting. Also the jig got the frame close but did not allow beaver tail to function or line up correctly, I had to remove quite a bit more material. All in all it took me about 5 hours to get the perfect fit with constant disassembly and reassembly of weapon.

Fantastic Function On Reminton R-1
Used the radius tool and got the safety to fit in less than an hour. Looks and functions like the gun came with the safety!

Works Great
Got this for my springfield GI , a good bit of work to fit it but well worth the time and effort , looks and works great . A word of advice , well worth getting the jig if you need to modify the frame .

Fits Well
I purchased this part for my para gi expert and it fits very well, as the stainless steel part complements the black finish of the pistol and allows me a much better hand hold. It was not a flaw in the safety I dont think but it had a bit of a fitment issue with the jig actually not fitting into the safety radius. Other than that another fine part from WC.
