The Wilson Combat 423B Thumb Safety transforms 1911 operation with true ambidextrous controls and high-ride positioning. This precision-machined component eliminates the traditional single-side limitation while maintaining the crisp engagement shooters expect from Wilson Combat.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 1911 thumb safeties that favor right-handed shooters, the 423B features symmetrical operation with identical tactile feedback on both sides. The high-ride design positions the safety shelf higher on the frame, reducing interference with shooting grips while maintaining positive engagement. Wilson Combat machines each unit from solid steel bar stock rather than using MIM construction, ensuring consistent tolerances and long-term durability.Key Features
