Description
The Ed Brown machined 1911 thumb safety is fully machined from steel bar stock, avoiding the warpage and porosity that can occur with cast parts. It is designed for 1911-style frames.
Shaped for shooting comfort
The lever is angled slightly to help keep the shooter’s thumb from contacting the slide. Its double-angle surface provides a natural resting position for the thumb.
