841370101818 296000130

Description
Ratings (6)

Oversized Thumb Pad For Fast, Positive Contact

Extended thumb safety is precision machined from solid steel barstock using a state-of-the-art, four-axis CNC cutting station to ensure outstanding strength and duarability. The deeply grooved, oversized pad is ergonomically shaped to ensure natural, comfortable thumb contact and provide maximum leverage for quick, positive safety engagement and disengagement under stressful conditions. Edges are beveled or rounded to prevent abrading of the finger or snagging on clothing during the draw from concealment.

SPECS: Carbon steel, blued, or stainless steel, natural silver, matte finish. Contact pad 1” (2.5cm) long, ¼” (6.4mm) wide. Gunsmith fitting may be required.

Outstanding part (16/10/2009)

I have worked with thumb safeties from all of the major manufacturers. This one is, without a doubt, the most robust and well executed safety available. They are very close to the Ed Brown wide safety as far as look and feel. These are fully machined from solid steel vs the Brown being cast. There are a couple of improvements that EGW has made with the design including making the shield thicker to help prevent the plunger from slipping off of the safety. Very nice touch. Extremely robust, tough, well machined, and aesthetically pleasing part.

It's a tank...in a good way (03/05/2013)

Built like a tank for heavy duty use. No wobble, positive engagement and good looks. I generally prefer the Ambi safeties, but since this is a replacement on a competition gun, I opted for durability. Only required a little trimming for the sear clearance on my STI frame.

A truly impressive piece of metalcraft! (15/09/2014)

A beautifully crafted American-made part! I am particularly impressed with the THICKNESS OF THE SHIELD, which feature will eliminate outward forces on the spring-loaded plunger. This EGW shield is beefier than any other maker's safety shield that I know of. Further, this part is quite obviously machined from stock versus being a mere casting. Finally, the stainless steel surfaces have a pleasing "brushed" finish versus having a "powder-coated" appearance. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Perfect for custom fabrication (22/12/2011)

Its not the most inexpensive, but the pad is so large you can shape it to match the look of your weapon. There are plenty of areas to contour to your frame and hand. This guy can really add a custom touch.

The best .. for a gunsmith (26/01/2012)

This is the best thumb safety out there, but it is not for the novice. EGW makes some of the best 1911 parts, but most are generously oversized to allow perfect handfitting.If you are building a one-off custom, this is the safety you need. If you are just replacing one on a sloppy factory gun or don't have the skills, don't use this safety.

Good job (03/07/2018)

I've a TANFOGLIO Witness 1911 .45ACP (Made in Italia) and the original thumb safety was too small for competition shooting. I ordered this part from Brownell's and installed in my handgun. Few fitting required and now it works perfectly ! Thank you EGW ! Thank you Brownell's !
