GRIP SAFETIES | BEAVERTAIL VS. GI | WHATS THE DIFFERANCE?? | 1911 PARTS |

[@Kahunaification]

This is why I buy the 1/4 inch beaver tail and not modify any of my old milspec 1911s. The cost of putting a lot of work in a basic and inexpensive 1911 just doesn't make sense to me.

[@fusionfirearms]

Yeah most people don't realize all the work that involved.

[@ApostolicITTech]

What an excellent video! Especially the drop in videos and pictures to show what you are talking about! 10/10

[@fusionfirearms]

Glad you liked it!

Excellent! On Sage Dynamics new 2011 tl11 vid he talked about the wizardry of the 2011 and I commented recommended this channel to learn all the answers to whatever question people have. To me...starting w one that has the beaver tail grip safety and one of the few manufacturers that have proper front sight channel you can swap out is a necessity and I don't even have a 1911 yet.

[@fusionfirearms]

Awesome, thank you!

[@theoverunderthinker]

that's exactly why I changed over one of my government models. I wanted a commander hammer and had to change the grip safety to get clearance! I really didn't mind because it looked better together. :) great information on the reasons why it worked that way! thanks!

[@fusionfirearms]

Yeah the 1/4 Beavertail and commander hammer is an awesome look for the 1911!!

[@thinman8621]

Old school Mil Spec grip safety hammer bite cuts do go away and scars eventually become almost unnoticeable after one goes to a beavertail safety.

So I have an Auto Ordinance 1911 A1 with the GI grip safety, where can I find a beaver tail that doesn't require gunsmithing? I'm trying to eliminate hammer bite. If y'all can point me in the right direction it'll be awesome.

[@thinman8621]

@@linkbond08 Call Fusion Firearms on the phone or email and tell them what you have and what you want to do. Let them help.

[@matthewstiles6495]

What does this safety you guys offer now do? Standard GI Wide Paddle

[@fusionfirearms]

Check website, we have several styles.

[@Aviation_Professional]

​@Fusion Firearms could someone send you their Tisas 1911 for the upswing beavertail and hammer.setup? I don't have any gunsmith in my area? Thanks

Are the .25 Radius Grip Safeties cast or built from bar stock?

[@fusionfirearms]

We have both.

[@76ShovelFLH]

I know this is an older video but I have been to your website and don't see the tool mentioned to use to get the job done. Do you not sell it anymore?

[@fusionfirearms]

We are out of stock, but will be making more.

I just want to eliminate hammer bite, and change my caliber to 40sw

[@fusionfirearms]

Check out our website for grip safeties we have a lot to choose from for the GI models. As for a 40, It will depend on the original cal of he pistol for how much work will be needed to convert. We have some videos listed about this.

[@skipmcpheron3773]

Great information!!!

[@fusionfirearms]

Thanks skip! more on the way!!!

[@cactusbaboon321]

Spending time and money insulting the perfection of John Brownings' design for the sake of cosmedic difference and having zero effect on ones ability to shoot is a waste.

[@fusionfirearms]

Just stating the facts, you can have any opinion you want.

[@chemiocremblac5527]

He wasn't perfect, also a lot of components in his pistols he himself did not like. The grip safety is a good example, that's not something browning wanted on the 1911 it was at the request of the military.
