CHA-LEE Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) I pulled together the below video to showcase the new Atlas Gunworks High Grip Shielded Thumb Safeties. If you have issues with bumping the safety back on with the heel of your support hand, or getting your thumb in the slide while shooting, these new Atlas safeties are the solution. These awesome safeties have solved both of those issues for me and I am sure it will help many others as well. These “High Grip” safeties come in a few different versions (Ambi Shielded, Single Sided Shielded, and Ambi non-shielded) to suit whatever style of safety you need. As with any aftermarket safety it needs to be fitted to your 1911/2011 by a competent gunsmith to ensure reliable and safe functionality. https://atlasgunworks.com/product/atlas-gunworks-high-grip-shielded-ambi-thumb-safety/ Edited November 27, 2019 by CHA-LEE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinready300ex Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Can you post a close up picture of the safety on your gun? I like the look, I've ended up cutting all my safeties down so they are kind of thin so I don't dig my support hand palm into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phenomenal and I can get my big left Mitt high up on the frame. I ordered the single sided ambi today for my backup. $50!! Don't hesitate the atlas sale is crazy good. I bought a bunch of other things too. Reap the savings! Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also prefer to cut the width of the paddles down as I don't rest my thumb on the safety while shooting. I only need enough paddle width to flip it off reliably with either hand. The cool thing about these safeties is that the paddles come fairly wide in their standard configuration. The shooters who like to rest their thumb on them with their normal grip will like the width of the unmodified paddle. Or you can cut it back as far as you need to make it just right.

anilson Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Thanks Charlie We spend a lot of time on these safeties. My hands don't ride the slide but the shielded feel so good they are my preferred option. We only make the single sided in shielded for that reason.

HIREDgun45 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Got the Black Friday sale email from Atlas this morning and placed an order. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodonpaper Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I missed the boat on the sale, I ordered their standard ambi a week and a half ago:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assaulter Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I fit one yesterday. It's definitely a different feel but I like it. I like to ride my thumb in the safety. I like being able to get that support thumb a little higher up in the grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddHatter Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Thanks for the post. I missed out on the single sided safety. Might have to order the ambi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
