The EGW HD Ambidextrous Thumb Safety is a heavy-duty manual safety from EGW (brand part no. 11323) with a lever on both sides of a 1911 frame, useful for left- and right-handed shooters. The Wide-style paddle offers more thumb surface than a factory safety, and this version carries a blued steel finish to match traditional carbon-steel 1911 controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work for left-handed shooters? Yes, an ambidextrous thumb safety adds a lever on both sides of the frame so it can be swept off from either hand.

How does the blued finish compare to stainless? Blued steel is a traditional carbon-steel finish that matches classic GI-style 1911 controls, while stainless resists corrosion without bluing; both are cosmetic/finish choices on this same safety design.
