Description
Wilson Combat's Bullet Proof Concealment safety brings serious quality control to your 1911 build. Rather than casting or molding, this part is machined from hardened bar stock steel, which eliminates the flaws and voids that plague many mass-produced safety parts. The difference shows in fit, finish, and longevity.
Engineered for Concealment Carry
This safety stands apart because it's minimized and sculpted specifically to keep your 1911 slim and tuck-friendly. The rear grip tang is deeply contoured, reducing the bulge at the back of the frame that can print under a shirt or push into your side during an appendix carry. The raised palm swell still gives you positive grip safety release, so you don't sacrifice control for concealment. If you're running a compact or officer's frame, this is the profile that makes sense.
Easy to Work With, Built to Last
Wilson's compound joint radius geometry makes this part simple to fit by hand without excessive filing. The modified grip safety arm also disassembles cleanly, so your gunsmith won't waste time on the installation. You're getting professional-grade construction at every step, from the machine work to the execution. The blued carbon steel finish is as durable as they come and holds up to regular carry and use.
What You Need to Know Before Installing
This isn't a true drop-in part. Frame modification is required, and the smaller tang profile demands a sub-compact hammer like Wilson's 337BC or 337SC models. Most gunsmiths use Wilson's 402 fitting jig to dial this in properly. Installation should go to a qualified gunsmith rather than a bench vice. The payoff is a safety that actually fits your frame instead of requiring workarounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 563B require frame modifications?
Yes, frame modification is required for installation. The smaller tang profile is designed to reduce the grip safety's footprint, so your gunsmith will need to fit it to your specific 1911 frame. Using Wilson's 402 fitting jig will help ensure the best results and fastest turnaround time.
What makes the Bullet Proof version different?
Bullet Proof parts are machined from solid bar stock steel rather than cast or molded, which eliminates internal flaws and inclusions. This process is more labor-intensive but delivers superior durability, better fit, and cleaner machining on all surfaces compared to standard mass-produced alternatives.
Which hammer should I use with this safety?
The 563B is designed to work with Wilson Combat sub-compact hammers like the 337BC (blue) or 337SC (stainless). The smaller tang profile doesn't pair well with full-size or commander-style hammers, so matching components are important for reliable function and proper appearance.
How does this safety compare for concealed carry?
The minimized, sculpted rear grip tang is specifically engineered to reduce printability and eliminate the bulge at the back of the frame. Paired with a compact 1911, this profile keeps your carry gun slim and tuck-friendly without sacrificing the ergonomic benefits of a beavertail design.
