Beavertail Grip Safety SS .220" Radius Reviews

4 Rating 3 Reviews
Read EGW Guns Reviews

Through our years of experience building guns, we were able to come up with a lot of improvements over the various beavertail offerings available today. Our improvements include the following:- Our beavertail is wider than the frame @ .770 (allowing you to the blend the beavertail to the frame, and not the other way around)- The pin hole is reamed to .158 (improving fit and ambi's function)- Lower bottom grip surface (no need to break into the thumb safety hole)- Longer bottom (less gap between beavertail and main spring housing)- Wider bottom to "fill" frame better (around .617)- Bottom radius smaller to better fill frame radius cuts- .308-.309 wide to fit frame ears snug (no rattles)- The pad is fuller and blank allowing for artist's interpretation- No pits, as the part is machined from bar stock- Radius is .220- Bottom angle better matches main spring housing again for less gap Beavertail FAQ's can be found here.

It looks like a well made part. If course, minor fitting is always required. It did not fit a Springfield 1911 frame radius as promised. It can not be fitted to a Springfield 1911. The frame is not cut to a radius, is an elipse. In other words the pivot hole is not centered in the radius. Cutting away enough material to make it function on my frame woule leave ugly gaps. So it looked like to me. I have 50 years experience. Maybe I mssed something? When called the EGW staff was not helpfull and did not offer any advice from a knowledgeable person. Calling EGW is a problem. They use a robot operator and tend not to anster the phone. The part was returned. EGW did provde a return shipping label.

Outstanding quality as always. Very oversized which is great because you can shape it how you want it. The .220 radius is great for fixing messed up jobs to create a seamless tight install as a last ditch effort when fixing a .250
