I'll be picking up my new Colt Series 80 stainless possibly today. It's a plain 1911, no beavertail safeties or high speed low drag tactical stuff:) The only thing I want to change is the standard beavertail to one of the non fitted type wide "T" style that some Colts came with. Someone on this forum (I'm sorry I can't remember who) graciously sent me one a few years ago and it dropped right on to a Springfield Milspec (that I dearly regret selling!) with a standard spur hammer and worked perfectly. Can one of you enlighten me on what that style grip safety is called and where I might find one. I looked at Midway and Brownells and all I'm finding are the fitted style beavertail grip safeties. Thank you in advance,

Rob,
I'm pretty sure the stainless series 80 I bought awhile back had a drop in beaver tail on it. I know I replaced it with a fitted one by using the 'file to' hardened guides. I'll have a look this afternoon and if its in my parts box, you are welcome to it.

If so ill take care of you...happy to pay you for it:)

The John Masen Company lists that part in both 'colors'.

Bookmarked the page...Thank you my friend:)

Yep, I've got it here. I also have a grooved, arched mainspring housing ad an extended slide stop if you want any of that.

That is what I have on all my 1911's.

All I want is the grip safety. I will be more than happy to cover the shipping plus some:)

10-4. I'm headed to the post office today after work. Shoot me an email with your mailing address an ill get it headed out to you.
