The Ed Brown Machined CC Beavertail Grip Safety is a replacement grip safety machined to Ed Brown’s "CC" (Beavertail Cut) profile, finished in Stainless and built for Series 70-pattern 1911 pistols (Ed Brown part no. 868-CC).

Key Specifications

• Built for Series 70-pattern 1911 pistols (the classic firing-pin-safety configuration, without the Series 80 firing pin block).
• Finished in Stainless.
• Cataloged by Ed Brown under the Beavertail Cut (CC) style — a lower-profile cut than Ed Brown’s standard Grip beavertail.
• Functions as a grip safety that must be depressed to allow the pistol to fire, while also shielding the shooter’s hand from hammer bite.
• Source data does not specify a Government/Commander/Officers frame size for this listing; confirm frame-size fit with Ed Brown before ordering.
• Classified as a firearm part/accessory, not a regulated firearm itself — no FFL transfer required to purchase.
