My situation, i've built a Bulls eye pistol and as a result I have placed anatomical grips on my gov't 1911. The problem is the stock beavertail is is not deep enough to extend beyond the wood grip in order for my hand to depress it. Therefore I was wondering if anyone knew of some drop in or easy to fit beaver tails that where deeper.

Thanks

Look for the Ed Brown highrise beavertail. It fits the common 1/2" diameter frame cut and has a lump on the bottom to ensure contact and depression. Otherwise, you'll need to cut down on the wood until your hand makes a full depression of the gripsafety.

It is a bullseye gun, so pinning the beaver tail is likley what I will do, but part of me wants to keep the safety. I looked at the ED Brown Memory Grove and Les Baer raised Pad Beavertails, and will likely purchase them, but I'm not sure if the my Norinco frame accepts both of those beavertails with modifying the frame. I've built a BE gun, and its strating to get expensive.

Does anyone have experience with the Les Baer or Ed Brown beaertail?

Thanks for everyones comments

Both Baer and Brown require the .250 radius on the frame, so they would not just drop in.

Wilson Combat makes a drop in Beavertail that has the raised bump on the bottom, it runs about $40.00 in the states.
 
What was said above. The frame has to be cut for Brown or Baer.

Here a pic of my Norinco with Ed Brown beavertail.

Paulinski,

Did you notice a difference when shooting the pistol with new beavertail installed?

Thank you for responding so quickly to my post!
