The Wilson Combat High Ride Beavertail Grip Safety (brand part number 298S) is a stainless steel upgrade for the 1911 platform, built to improve both comfort and controllability over the standard-profile factory safety. Wilson Combat shapes this beavertail to position the shooting hand closer to the bore axis while spreading recoil across a broad, rounded surface instead of a narrow factory tang. A raised tab on the bottom of the safety assures positive disengagement every time the pistol is gripped, and that same tab doubles as a consistent grip memory point each time the pistol is drawn. It’s a proven upgrade for 1911 shooters who want less felt recoil and a more repeatable, higher grip.
