Slightly recommend

Brownells USA Not the best 28/07/2018

The item I got had a very long arm that needed more than a little trimming, just to fit in the receiver. The receiver is an ATI - maybe suspect - but several old Colt safeties fit (and work) just fine.



Well folks, by the time I carefully fit the LENGTH of the arm, it became evident that the width of the arm (top to bottom) was insufficient to actually do anything. That is to say, the little nub at the end of the arm didn't swing down enough to intersect the back of the trigger bow. Bummer.



My first thought was that the hooks that intersect the top of the mainspring housing need adjustment to allow the safety to swing further. But this turned out not to be the case. Instead, after close comparison with the ATI grip safety and the old Colt grip safeties, its quite evident that this safety quite a bit "out of spec". Its like... its bent? Cant unbend it, but I can weld up the arm and recut the entire piece. However, if I wanted to resort to that, I could have just done that to the original (which did block the hammer somewhat, but allowed too much rearward travel, allowing the sear to partially disengage... nice, right from ATI that way, but heck its a $300 1911....!!!)



Sorry, this one's a dud.

Not recommended

Brownells USA Avoid 18/04/2018

The finish was better than expected, but when installed the arm did not contact the trigger stirrup. When compared to a surplus GI grip safety, the trigger block arm was significantly higher on the Masen part. Called technical support for advice and was told I should've bought a better quality grip safety.
