EGW GR4 Beavertail Grip Safety – Stainless Steel – .250″ Radius – Series 70

Upgrade your 1911 with the EGW GR4 Beavertail Grip Safety and achieve a clean, high‑end custom look while gaining better control. This grip safety blends sharp styling with extreme‑duty strength, making it a top choice for serious shooters and custom builders alike.

Clean Custom Look with Better Control

First, the GR4’s serrated beavertail surface extends positive control all the way to the web of your thumb and forefinger. As a result, your grip feels more secure and consistent during recoil. Even better, when you pair this grip safety with the matching GR4 mainspring housing, the pistol takes on a fully matched, professional custom appearance.

Machined from Solid Stainless Steel

Unlike cast or forged parts, EGW machines this grip safety from solid stainless steel bar stock. Because of that, it delivers superior strength, crisp edges, and long‑term durability. In addition, this extreme‑duty construction stands up to hard use and will last the lifetime of the pistol.

Built for Precise Custom Fitting

Next, EGW leaves critical areas slightly oversized. This design choice lets gunsmiths and skilled builders fit the grip safety tightly to the frame for a seamless result. The beavertail is cut to .245″ to fit .250″ radius frames, which allows you to blend the part to the frame without leaving an unsightly gap.

Smart Design for Easier Maintenance

The straight safety arm requires no forming, saving time during installation. Furthermore, the arm comes pre‑notched, so you can remove the grip safety later without pulling the mainspring housing. Extra material in key areas adds strength and supports precise fitting to tight tolerances.

Compatibility and Fit Notes

This GR4 beavertail fits frames cut for a .250″ radius, including STI, Kimber, and Brown. It does not fit the Wilson beavertail cut. To use this grip safety on Springfield or Caspian frames, you must weld the frame tangs. This part is not a drop‑in component and requires fitting by a qualified gunsmith.
