The EGW JEM Beavertail Grip Safety is purpose-built for 1911 builders and gunsmiths who demand a custom fit without compromise. Machined from solid barstock and finished in blued steel, this grip safety takes a different approach than typical parts: it ships slightly oversized in critical areas, letting you fit it to your frame rather than forcing your frame to fit it. That's the difference between a part that works and one that feels right in your hand.
The beavertail design is wider than the standard frame profile, and the overall length is extended at the bottom with a carefully angled geometry that fills the gap in high-cut 1911 frames where factory safeties often leave a pinch point. The reamed pin hole (.158 inch) and .250-inch radius are precision-machined to spec, and the enlarged contact pad delivers the positive engagement you need for reliable operation. This is serious metalwork—the kind that separates a good build from a great one.
EGW designed this grip safety for high-cut frames, which means some careful blending will be part of your fitting process. It's compatible with all JEM frames and 2011 High-Cap STI pistol frames. If you're running a modern, tight-toleranced 1911 and tired of compromises, this is the platform to start with.
| Manufacturer | EGW |
| Product Type | 1911 Beavertail Grip Safety |
| Finish | Blued |
| Pin Hole Diameter | .158 inch (reamed) |
| Radius | .250 inch |
| Frame Compatibility | JEM frames, 2011 High-Cap STI frames |
| Design Fit | High-cut frames (requires fitting/blending) |
This safety is compatible with all JEM frames and 2011 High-Cap STI pistol frames. It's specifically designed for high-cut frame profiles.
The oversized design—in both the beavertail width and overall bottom length—lets you custom-fit the part to your frame rather than the other way around. This approach gives builders and gunsmiths the control to achieve a perfect fit without gaps or binding.
Yes. Because this safety is designed for high-cut frames, you'll need to blend it into your frame as part of the installation process. This is standard practice for quality 1911 builds and allows the part to sit flush and function reliably.
The pin hole is reamed to .158 inch diameter, with a .250-inch radius for smooth engagement.
