yekcoh Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Picked up a sti 2011. The beavertail grip safety where it cradles cocked hammer is a bit too long for me. It interferes with my draw. Are there any shorter versions I can pick up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBurgess Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Probably easier and less expensive to modify the one you have fitted to the gun to the length you like. there are lots of grip safeties available, not sure what ones are longer or shorter than whatever is on you gun, but I do know they will all require fitting.

rishii Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 A couple of decades ago kings gun works made a bevertail safety that didn’t have the pocket for the hammer and looked a bit shorter I have no idea if anyone copied the design, but you might check carry gun builders if they offer it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STI DVC blackout is all black so it's going to be difficult to make it look nice with partially shiny beavertail. Sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 If you decide to go with new, EGW sells a special grip safety called the JEM grip safety. George makes it for JEM Guns. It is thinner than the standard EGW and requires no, or little blending on an STI 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
