C&S Thumb Safety – High Grip Extended
Wide Blued Ambidextrous Control for the 1911
Upgrade your 1911 with the C&S High Grip Extended Ambidextrous Thumb Safety, precision‑engineered to deliver fast, reliable control for both right‑ and left‑handed shooters. From the very first touch, this thumb safety improves engagement, ergonomics, and accessibility. As a result, shooters gain greater confidence and consistency in every environment.
Because ambidextrous operation is essential in tactical, defensive, and competition scenarios, this safety allows seamless weak‑hand operation without sacrificing performance. Moreover, the extended, wide design provides increased leverage, ensuring quicker and more positive activation under stress.
Engineered for Speed and Positive Engagement
Wide, Ergonomic Thumb Pad Design
The wide, curved thumb pad promotes immediate, positive contact with the safety. Consequently, engagement feels deliberate and controlled rather than rushed or uncertain. At the same time, the increased surface area enhances traction, even during rapid manipulation or high‑stress shooting.
Additionally, the blued finish delivers a classic, non‑reflective appearance while maintaining durability and corrosion resistance. Therefore, the safety blends seamlessly into traditional and modern 1911 builds alike.
Optimized for High‑Grip Shooting Techniques
Comfortable Thumb Rest and Natural Hand Position
C&S contours the rear levers downward to create a natural thumb rest during firing. As a result, shooters maintain a consistent high grip without interference or discomfort. Furthermore, this shaping improves recoil management by encouraging proper thumb placement throughout the firing cycle.
Because the design works in harmony with high‑grip beavertail pistols, it preserves correct ergonomics while enhancing overall control.
True Ambidextrous Operation
Reliable Control from Either Side
By offering full ambidextrous functionality, the C&S Thumb Safety allows shooters to engage or disengage the safety with either hand. Consequently, the pistol remains predictable and controllable during transitions, reloads, or weak‑hand drills.
Moreover, the extended paddles provide balanced leverage on both sides of the frame. Therefore, engagement remains smooth, consistent, and dependable regardless of shooting position.
Installation and Compatibility
Precision Component Requiring Proper Fit
The C&S High Grip Extended Ambidextrous Thumb Safety may require minor fitting to your specific 1911 frame, as expected with premium 1911 components. Nevertheless, once properly fitted, it delivers seamless operation, enhanced speed, and superior ergonomics.
Because of its thoughtful design and durable blued steel construction, this thumb safety is an excellent choice for tactical pistols, competition guns, and high‑end custom builds.
