Description

EGW machines this beavertail from solid stainless steel bar stock, not castings or forgings, which means you get maximum strength and durability for daily shooting, training, and competition use. The part is designed with slightly oversized dimensions at critical points, giving you flexibility to blend and fit it perfectly to your frame rather than forcing your frame to fit the part.

Higher Grip Position for Better Control

The beavertail extends your grip up to the web of your thumb and forefinger. This higher grip position delivers a more secure hold on the pistol, which translates to better recoil management and improved shooting confidence. When combined with proper grip technique, the design reduces slide bite and enhances overall accuracy by giving you more positive control over the gun during recoil.

Engineered for Precision Fit

The part cuts to .245" to accommodate .250" radius frames like those from STI, Kimber, and Brown. EGW built in several improvements you won't find on every beavertail: the pin hole is reamed to .158" for better fit and ambidextrous safety function, the bottom surface is lower so you don't need to cut into the thumb safety hole, and the width at the frame ears is .308-.309" to prevent side-to-side rattle. The fully blank engagement pad gives you room to shape it to your preference.

What to Expect During Installation

This is not a drop-in part. You'll need to fit and blend it to your frame, which means taking your time with the tangs and finishing work. The upside is that the solid construction and thoughtful dimensions make this much easier than dealing with loose-fitting alternatives. The part will fit a Ruger SR1911 with minimal fitting work. Note that it's not compatible with Wilson's beavertail cuts, and if you're working with a Springfield or Caspian frame, you'll need to weld the tangs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this beavertail grip safety drop in without fitting?

No. This part is machined slightly oversized and requires custom fitting and blending to your specific frame. The design philosophy is that you'll fit the beavertail to the gun rather than the other way around, which actually makes the job cleaner. Most frames need some blending work at the tangs and edges, though Ruger SR1911 models require only minimal fitting.

What 1911 frames does this fit?

This beavertail is designed for 1911 frames with a .250" radius cut, including those from STI, Kimber, and Brown. It is not compatible with Wilson beavertail cuts or Springfield frames with their standard tang cuts (Springfield frames would need tangs welded for compatibility). It fits Ruger SR1911 models with minimal fitting.

Why is this beavertail made from bar stock instead of casting?

Bar stock construction eliminates internal voids and weak points found in castings, giving you maximum strength and durability for daily use and competition. The solid material also resists bending or deformation and won't crack under stress, so you can shoot extensively without worrying about part failure.

What's the difference between the .245" radius and a .250" radius?

This part cuts to .245" to fit frames already cut for .250" radius. The slight undersizing allows room for finishing work while ensuring a tight, gap-free fit. This approach prevents the loose, rattling fit you sometimes get with parts that don't leave enough blending margin.
