Drop-in beavertail grip safety for Government-frame 1911 pistols. Reduces hammer bite and improves control while maintaining reversibility to factory configuration.
The Wilson Combat beavertail grip safety is a straightforward upgrade that addresses one of the most common complaints about standard 1911 grip safeties: hammer bite and discomfort during shooting.
Better Ergonomics: The beavertail design extends protection up the back of the grip, shielding your hand from the hammer's spur during firing and recoil.
Drop-In Installation: This is a true drop-in part. No gunsmithing required—simply remove your factory grip safety and install the Wilson Combat unit.
Fully Reversible: If you ever need to return your pistol to original condition, reinstall the factory part. No permanent modifications.
This safety is designed for Government-frame 1911 pistols and works with both Commander-style hammers and bobbed spur hammers. It fits a wide range of 1911 variants, including Colt, Springfield Armory, Rock Island Armory, Remington, and many others.
Important: Due to manufacturing variations between individual pistols, minor fitting adjustments to the trigger engagement area may be necessary for smooth operation. This is normal and expected with 1911 parts.
Satin stainless steel construction provides durability and a professional appearance that complements most 1911 finishes.
