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.
