EGW Slim Thumb Safety – Blued

Precision Machined Thumb Safety for Superior Fit and Function

EGW proudly offers one of the few thumb safety machined from solid steel specifically for 1911 pistols. Unlike inferior cast or MIM thumb safeties, this precision-machined component ensures consistent performance and reliability. Because EGW identified repeated failures in standard safeties, they developed this cleaner, stronger, and more durable solution.

By heat treating the steel first, then machining it in its hardened state, EGW maintains perfect alignment and straightness throughout the part. As a result, the safety operates smoothly while providing maximum control over your firearm.

Slim Profile for Enhanced Ergonomics

This thumb safety is slimmer than standard models, which allows for easier manipulation while maintaining full control. The serrated pad improves tactile feedback, giving your thumb a secure grip in both stressful and everyday situations. Consequently, you gain faster, more positive engagement and disengagement without sacrificing safety.

Durable Construction for Long-Term Reliability

Made from high-quality carbon steel and finished with a durable black oxide coating, this safety resists wear, corrosion, and damage. Its slim, ergonomic design does not compromise strength, so you can rely on it for countless range sessions or defensive use.

Additionally, the machined design minimizes flex and wobble common in cast or MIM safeties, providing a solid, consistent feel every time you operate the safety.

Designed for Easy Installation and Compatibility

EGW machined these safeties on one of twelve advanced CNC machines, ensuring tight tolerances and consistent quality. While fitting is required for optimal performance, this safety is compatible with most standard 1911 frames. With proper installation, it provides smooth operation and precise alignment with the grip safety and frame.
