C&S High Grip Extended Thumb Safety – Tactical
Blued Ambidextrous Control for the 1911
Enhance your 1911 with the C&S High Grip Extended Tactical Ambidextrous Thumb Safety, expertly engineered to deliver fast, reliable control for both right‑ and left‑handed shooters. From the very first touch, this safety improves ergonomics, accessibility, and engagement. As a result, shooters operate their pistols with greater confidence in tactical, defensive, and high‑stress environments.
Because ambidextrous functionality is critical for weak‑hand shooting and rapid transitions, this thumb safety provides smooth, predictable performance every time. Moreover, its narrow tactical profile minimizes bulk, which helps prevent snagging on holsters, gear, or clothing. Consequently, it is an excellent choice for duty pistols, competition builds, and concealed‑carry applications.
Built for Tactical Performance
Narrow Profile for Reduced Snagging
Unlike wider competition‑style safeties, the C&S Tactical model features a slim, streamlined thumb pad. Therefore, it maintains fast access while significantly reducing interference during draws and reholstering. At the same time, the extended geometry provides enough leverage for confident, positive engagement.
Additionally, the blued steel finish offers a classic tactical appearance while maintaining durability and corrosion resistance. As a result, the safety blends seamlessly with traditional and modern 1911 builds alike.
Optimized for Speed and Comfort
High‑Grip Design with Natural Thumb Placement
The narrow, high‑grip thumb pad allows rapid, deliberate contact with minimal movement. Consequently, every activation feels natural, controlled, and repeatable. Furthermore, the rear levers angle downward to create a comfortable thumb rest, supporting consistent hand placement during firing.
Because this geometry pairs perfectly with high‑grip beavertail pistols, shooters maintain proper ergonomics without sacrificing control. In turn, recoil management and overall shooting stability improve.
True Ambidextrous Functionality
Consistent Control from Either Side
By providing complete ambidextrous operation, the C&S High Grip Extended Tactical Thumb Safety allows shooters to engage or disengage the safety with either hand. As a result, the pistol performs predictably during weak‑hand drills, positional shooting, and rapid transitions.
Moreover, balanced engagement surfaces on both sides ensure smooth, repeatable operation. Therefore, reliability remains consistent regardless of hand dominance or shooting technique.
Installation and Compatibility
Precision Fit for Serious 1911 Builds
The C&S High Grip Extended Tactical Ambidextrous Thumb Safety may require minor fitting to your specific 1911 frame, as expected with premium 1911 components. Nevertheless, once properly fitted, it delivers smooth operation, faster engagement, and superior tactical ergonomics.
Because of its thoughtful design and durable blued steel construction, this thumb safety is an ideal upgrade for duty pistols, defensive carry guns, and hard‑use competition firearms.
