EGW HD Ambi Thumb Safety Blued Steel Strength & Reliability

EGW HD Ambi Thumb Safety – Blued Steel

Upgrade Your 1911 with Precision and Strength

Upgrade your 1911 with the EGW HD Ambi Thumb Safety – Blued, a robust and reliable choice for shooters who demand the best. Unlike cast or MIM safeties that often bend or fail, this safety delivers consistent performance because EGW machines it from heat-treated steel and finishes it in its hardened state. As a result, the safety stays straight, durable, and precise, shot after shot.

Solid, Machined Components for Smooth Ambidextrous Control

Both paddles come from solid blocks of heat-treated steel, ensuring durability and minimal flex. Moreover, the ambi joint remains flat, which prevents loosening over time, while the connecting sleeve holds both sides firmly inside the frame tangs. In addition, the grip safety rides smoothly on the sleeve, allowing free movement without interference. Consequently, each side operates securely, giving you smooth and reliable ambidextrous control.

Enhanced Features for Safety and Function

EGW designed a radius down stop on the left-side safety lug, which improves contact with the frame and replaces the sharp-pointed stops found on other safeties. On the right side, the T-slot prevents the safety from walking out, while serrations enhance grip and control. Furthermore, the included hammer pin comes in two sizes: .750” for standard 1911 frames or .765” for 2011-style frames. This pin also serves as a down stop for the right paddle, providing extra reliability during operation.

Simple Fitting for Optimal Performance

While this safety is precision-machined, proper fitting remains essential for the best function. For high-capacity 2011 platforms, you may need the longer hammer pin or slight countersinking of the pin head recess. Fortunately, right-hand grips do not require relief, which makes installation smoother and faster. By following these steps, you achieve a tight, secure, and high-performing ambidextrous safety system.
