EGW GR4 Beavertail Grip Safety – Blued – .220″ Radius – Series 70

Give your 1911 a clean, custom look while improving control with the EGW GR4 Beavertail Grip Safety. This grip safety adds both function and style. Most importantly, the serrated beavertail surface extends grip control into the web of your thumb and forefinger. As a result, you gain better leverage, stronger recoil control, and a more confident hold.

When you pair this grip safety with the GR4 Mainspring Housing, the pistol takes on a complete custom appearance. Together, they create a seamless, professional look that stands out without sacrificing performance.

Extreme‑Duty Construction

EGW machines this beavertail grip safety from solid stainless steel bar stock, then applies a durable blued finish. EGW avoids castings and forgings entirely. Because of this, the part delivers exceptional strength and long service life. You can rely on it for competition, training, or hard use without worry.

Precision Fit for Custom Builds

This grip safety ships with slightly oversized critical areas. Therefore, gunsmiths and experienced builders can achieve a tight, precise custom fit. In addition, the extra material in key areas adds strength and supports close tolerances during blending and finishing.

Smart, Builder‑Friendly Design

The straight safety arm comes pre‑notched, so you can remove the grip safety later without pulling the mainspring housing. This feature saves time and simplifies maintenance. At the same time, the design keeps engagement smooth and consistent during use.

Compatibility and Installation

• Fits frames cut for a .220″ radius, including Springfield and Caspian

• Not compatible with the Wilson beavertail cut

• Requires fitting by a qualified gunsmith

• Not a drop‑in part
