You might need the assistance of a pistol smith. A beavertail replacement can require a lot of fitting. You'll also need to fit the safety and function check.. That can be tricky business, but people do change them out themselves.. Ron

Not sure about the ambi safety but I installed a beavertail grip safety and a Commander style hammer and they are not drop in (at least mine weren't) and it took me a while to do it. I have installed five or six and take it slow and easy and they usually turn out fairly decent.

Fitted a Wilson Combat Ambi thumb safety to my R1 Enhanced, I consider myself a handy and detail oriented guy, I watched a couple of YouTube videos and went to work on it. Took my time and followed the instructions. Being left-handed it was something that I prefer to have on all my semi-autos. It was a little stiff at first, but has smoothed out over a few thousand rounds. |
