Diiferent beavertails on 1911's?

[CanuckShooter]

What are the advantages of the different beavertails on 1911's? The ones that come on the Norinco NP-29's.... how are they? Good ones?

I have medium to smaller hands, if that makes any difference.

Thanks

The beavertail on the NP29 works just fine for me. I do not have long fingers.

Before I'd alter the Norc for a different beavertail, I'd try a shorter trigger.

FWIW, the smallest grip possible would be with the Ed Brown, and if your hands are more medium than small, you may find it too small.

+1. You'll have no issue with the beavertail on the NP29.

On my NP30, I had to lose the one-piece wrap around grip, and replace it with thinned down traditional wood grips. Skateboard grip works well too.

a high rise beaver tail will allow the gun to sit lower in your hand providing you with better recoil control. Some makes have the sides contoured a bit aswell. If you have massive thumb knuckles I would avoid this type. You can also get them with or with out a palm swell at the bottom.
