1911 / 2011 Thumb Safety Plunger – Blued
Precision Fit, Heat-Treated Strength, and Long-Term Durability
The 1911 / 2011 Thumb Safety Plunger – Blued restores crisp, positive thumb safety engagement for both 1911 and 2011 pistols. Because it is built from high-grade steel and fully heat treated, this precision replacement delivers smooth movement, consistent spring tension, and long-lasting durability. Consequently, it performs reliably even under frequent or demanding use.
Over time, factory thumb safety plungers can wear, flatten, or lose tension. As a result, the safety may feel soft, vague, or inconsistent, which can compromise control. Fortunately, this hardened, blued steel plunger corrects those issues by restoring clean engagement and dependable on/off control. Therefore, your safety feels positive and predictable every time you operate it.
Swiss CNC Precision Manufacturing
Exact Dimensions Ensure Dependable Function
Each thumb safety plunger begins as premium steel stock. Then, skilled machinists cut each piece on high-end Swiss CNC screw machines, ensuring exact dimensional tolerances. Afterward, the plunger undergoes a controlled finishing process that maximizes fit, function, and longevity.
First, centerless grinding establishes precise diameter control. Next, full heat treatment and hardening increase strength and resistance to wear. Finally, a black oxide blued finish protects the surface and ensures smooth contact. Because of these steps, the plunger installs easily, seats properly, and performs consistently through thousands of safety cycles.
Built for Strength and Reliable Safety Operation
Consistent Engagement Even Under Heavy Use
Unlike softer factory plungers, this hardened steel thumb safety plunger maintains proper spring tension and resists peening, deformation, or flattening. Consequently, it preserves a crisp, positive safety feel, preventing a mushy or inconsistent engagement from developing over time.
In addition, the blued finish reduces surface wear while maintaining a factory-correct appearance. Therefore, the plunger delivers long service life and dependable performance in duty, carry, and competition pistols alike. Moreover, it ensures the thumb safety functions consistently shot after shot.
