Ed Brown 1911 Machined Extended Safety Wide Blue

Description

This Ed Brown extended safety delivers the kind of quality you'd expect from a company built on championship shooting experience and precision craftsmanship. Fully machined from barstock steel instead of stamped, it eliminates any chance of warping or porosity that can compromise function over time. You get a part that's made to last through thousands of rounds.

Match Profile Wide Safety Design

At 0.247 inches wide, this is the widest profile lever Ed Brown offers. That extra surface area gives you a comfortable platform for the high-thumb grip style that many serious competitors prefer. The design lets you rest your thumb directly on top of the safety rather than gripping around it, which translates to faster, more consistent safety manipulation under pressure. The lever slopes and angles slightly to keep your thumb from accidentally brushing the slide during your natural shooting motion.

Precision Machining for Comfort and Reliability

The double-angle design isn't just for looks. The lever is shaped with two distinct angles that work together to fit your thumb perfectly and sit naturally in your hand. The slight forward angle prevents contact with the slide while the thumb-contoured shape ensures your hand finds the same position every time you grip. This kind of attention to ergonomic detail is what separates Ed Brown parts from standard replacements.

Versatile and Customizable

Designed for all 1911-type frames including Government, Commander, and Officers models, this safety can be custom trimmed to slimmer proportions if you ever want to dial back the width without losing function or appearance. Installation requires minor gunsmith fitting to ensure safe operation, and complete instructions are included with the part.
