2MoreChains Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) It cuts into the web of my hand a little. I'm going to have to work on my grip, I can already tell I won't always activate the grip safety. This may not be the same issue you are having, but I found I didn't like the relief cuts on the sides of the stock STI beavertail grip safety. Yes it allows the gun to sit lower in my hand, but it also created a corner that rubbed the big joint of my thumb and sometimes I would get such a high grip that I'd get slide bite. This was happening with both my STI's (Trojan and Eagle), but none of my 1911's from other makers. So I replaced the STI grip safeties with an Ed Brown that didn't have the relief cuts and all of my problem went away. Some minor fitting was required, but nothing a file and emery paper couldn't resolve. I mainly shoot moly-coated lead thru my pistols. No issues, once you find the right powder combo.

assaulter Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) The reason I ask about lead is because mine are being forced into the throat. I'm trying to find out what the throat diameter is cut to. Edit- As far as the grip goes. I've worn some pretty good calluses onto my hand now, so it doesn't hurt as much.

djeffers Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Have you loaded any lead? Nope. I think I will just stick with jacketed bullets. But, lead is a lot cheaper......I might have to try your lead loads.......assuming you get them to run in your gun!
