Achieve Unmatched Precision with the Ed Brown Gunsmith Beavertail Grip Safety

The Gunsmith Grip Safety is the ultimate development of the popular Ed Brown 1911 beavertail safety, designed specifically for the pistolsmith who demands a perfect, precise, slop-free fit of the safety to the frame.

Key Features:

  • Extra metal all the way around for enhanced fitting:
    • .245" radius instead of .250"
    • wider neck of .314" instead of .308"
    • .002" extra stock per side
  • Machined from steel barstock – not a casting
  • Separate models available for Series 70 and Series 80 1911 pistols (order carefully!)
  • Choose between blued carbon steel or natural silver/gray stainless steel
  • Extensive gunsmith fitting required

The Ed Brown Gunsmith Grip Safety is intended for installation by skilled professional gunsmiths only, who aspire to build a pistol to the highest standards that the 1911 platform allows. Each unit is marked with a dot on the inside of the neck for easy identification.

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.
