Ed Brown Extended Carry Thumb Safety Features This component is engineered to provide smooth intuitive operation during use. The 1911 extended thumb safety features a thinner contact pad with Ed Brown's signature angle and slope allowing for a natural sweeping thumb motion when disengaging the safety. This design promotes faster and more consistent activation while maintaining a streamlined profile. Designed with concealed carry in mind the trimmed-down shape reduces bulk and improves comfort when used with full-coverage holsters. Despite its compact design it meets U.S.P.S.A. Limited Class requirements making it suitable for both defensive and competition applications. Gunsmith fitting is required to ensure proper installation and function.
