Upgrade Your 1911 with Precision Engineering

The 1911 Machined Gunsmith Beavertail Grip Safety from Ed Brown is the ultimate choice for pistolsmiths aiming for a flawless fit.

Product Features:

  • Extra Metal All Around: Designed with a .245" radius instead of .250" and a wider neck of .314" instead of .308", providing the gunsmith with more material to work with.
  • Precision Fit: The .002" extra stock on each side allows for meticulous adjustments, ensuring a slop-free fit.
  • Machined from Steel Barstock: Crafted from high-quality steel barstock rather than a casting for superior durability.
  • Model Compatibility: Available in separate models for Series 70 and Series 80 1911 pistols—please order carefully!
  • Material Options: Choose between Blued carbon steel or natural silver/gray Stainless steel.
  • Extensive Fitting Required: Designed for installation by skilled professional gunsmiths only.

The Ed Brown Gunsmith Grip Safety is marked with a dot on the inside of the neck for easy identification, making it a must-have for those who seek to build a pistol to the highest standards that the 1911 platform can offer.

Brownells USA Good Choice for Pre-Cut Radius Frame 29/01/2018

I have been building a 1911 on a Taurus frame (got a good deal). To my disappointment, the good folks at Taurus cut the frame with very large tolerances. When I bought the first Ed Brown beavertail, it was extremely loose, which is what led me to purchase the Gunsmith Version (867-GS). This one fit nice and snug with no side-to-side play.



If you are working with an existing frame that has tangs precut to .250 radius, then I would recommend this beavertail. This gives you enough meat to work with when you blend it to your frame.



I've included photos that will hopefully help someone who is researching this topic.



Next step is to hot blue in a matte finish.
