C&S Thumb Safety – High Grip Extended
Wide Stainless Steel Ambidextrous Control for the 1911
The C&S High Grip Extended Ambidextrous Thumb Safety upgrades your 1911 with faster, more positive control for both right‑ and left‑handed shooters. From the very first manipulation, this safety improves accessibility, comfort, and engagement. As a result, shooters gain greater confidence and consistency, whether operating with their strong hand or transitioning to their support hand.
Because ambidextrous operation is critical in tactical, defensive, and competition environments, this thumb safety ensures reliable engagement and disengagement under pressure. Moreover, the extended design increases leverage, while the wide paddle enhances control and speed without feeling bulky or intrusive.
Designed for Speed, Comfort, and Control
High‑Grip Geometry for Faster Manipulation
The wide, curved thumb pad allows your thumb to find the safety naturally and immediately. Consequently, engagement becomes quicker and more deliberate. At the same time, the increased surface area provides better traction, even when wearing gloves or operating under stress.
In addition, C&S contours the rear levers downward to create a comfortable thumb rest when shooting with a high grip. Because of this ergonomic shaping, shooters maintain consistent hand placement while reducing fatigue during extended firing sessions.
Optimized for High‑Grip Beavertail Pistols
Maintains Proper Ergonomics Without Compromise
This thumb safety is specifically designed to work seamlessly with high‑grip beavertail configurations. As a result, it preserves proper thumb placement and grip angle without interfering with the beavertail or altering the natural shooting position.
Furthermore, the extended design complements modern shooting techniques, allowing faster safety disengagement during the draw while maintaining positive re‑engagement when needed.
True Ambidextrous Operation
Reliable Control for Both Strong‑ and Weak‑Hand Use
By offering full ambidextrous functionality, the C&S Thumb Safety gives both right‑ and left‑handed shooters equal access and control. Consequently, it becomes an essential upgrade for shooters who train weak‑hand shooting or operate in dynamic environments where hand transitions are unavoidable.
Moreover, the wide, high‑grip paddles provide consistent leverage on both sides of the pistol. Therefore, engagement remains positive and predictable regardless of which hand operates the safety.
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 is typical for high‑quality 1911 components. Nevertheless, once properly fitted, it delivers smooth operation, increased speed, and superior comfort.
Because of its thoughtful design and durable stainless steel construction, this thumb safety works exceptionally well for tactical pistols, competition builds, and custom 1911 projects.
