Mike62 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I started shooting my single stack STI HEX 19111 yesterday after letting it sit in the safe for two years. I like the gun but I grip it so high that it rubs my right thumb and it eventually started bleeding. I was doing a few searches on here and found a few people mention the Ed Brown Grip Safety or shielded thumb safeties as a solution. If you have any experience with this issue please let me know what you did to fix the problem. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!Atlas Gunworks makes a great pair of shield thumb safeties that will alleviate this as well as allow your left hand to get up very highhttps://atlasgunworks.com/product/atlas-gunworks-high-grip-shielded-ambi-thumb-safety/Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superlifer03 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I run the double tap shielded safety on my limited gun and a single sided double tap on my 1911. I like them a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprig Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 To echo what others have , shielded left side safety saved my hand . I ran the Swensons profiled the way i preferred before Limcat came out with their own. Most will work but most are sold large so you can profile them to your liking .

Mike62 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Excellent feedback all, thanks! I can't believe the cost of these things, was not expecting a $130 safety. I found a couple single sided shielded safeties for less but non are in stock Oh well I guess it's a small price to pay not to bleed all over your gun.
