Key Features & Benefits:

• Ergonomic Lower Paddle Design: The repositioned paddle facilitates a more natural reach and significantly faster operation of your 1911 thumb safety compared to standard GI or extended models.
• Optimized for High-Grip Technique: Specifically engineered to reduce the chance of accidental safety activation often encountered with high-grip holds on the 1911 platform.
• Durable Steel Construction: Precision machined from high-quality steel for maximum durability and reliable function under pressure. This ensures a long service life for this critical firearm component.
• Classic Blued Finish: The traditional blued finish offers excellent protection against wear, rust, and corrosion while providing a deep, non-reflective black appearance that complements many 1911 finishes.
• 1911 Frame Compatibility: Designed as a gunsmith-fit part for standard 1911 frames.

1911 Thumb Safety Installation Notice:

As with most precision 1911 components and gun parts, achieving a perfect, safe fit and ensuring correct sear engagement may require minor fitting. Professional installation by a qualified and experienced 1911 gunsmith is strongly recommended for safety and optimal performance. Proper thumb safety fitting is critical for a reliable firearm.

• NOTE: Due to the differences in double stack grip width, this part may not work for you without fitment of the paddle.
