Just a question for those of you that have guns with beavertail safetys. Why do you like beavertail safetys?
And with the looks of it you will not be able to do high hand grip either.
They have a different geometry to the frame horns that ride on either side of the GI style grip safety spur. That means that there isn't enough material there to cut them down to the larger radius of "standard" beavertail safeties without leaving gaps. They just require a model of G.S. cut to the radius that you can get.my 1911 is a Springfield, and I understand they have a different radius on the grip safety as opposed to the original design
The CZs that are set up with one look pretty sweet, though.On any other guns, it's just grotesque, imho.
Nah, I've seen and handled it. The beavertail is just not at home, if it's not on the 1911. jmo, of course.The CZs that are set up with one look pretty sweet, though.
Like the SP-01:
They do solve the problem, or make it better at least, however the fit between the frame and the safety is necessarily much more loose, with gaps, etc. And they don't really "drop in". You generally have to fit them a bit. Easy for experienced guys, hard for me.So the drop in beavertail safeties you see in catalogs are just cosmetic items that don't actually solve any problem, the real deal involves removing material from the frame as well to get the bore axis lower into the hands, correct?
Then you are obviously not a heterosexual.I don't like 1911s anyway,
lolThen you are obviously not a heterosexual.
recoil from a 1911 without the beavertail doesn't bother me
