1911 Ambidextrous Thumb Safeties

Ambidextrous Control for Your 1911

A standard 1911 is built for a right-handed shooter. An EGW ambidextrous thumb safety is a critical upgrade for left-handed shooters or anyone who practices off-hand and support-hand drills. Our ambi safeties provide positive engagement and disengagement from either side of the firearm, ensuring safe and reliable operation no matter the situation.

The EGW Advantage in a 1911 Ambi Safety

Not all safeties are created equal. Our parts are precision machined from solid billet steel and designed for a drop-in or professional gunsmith fit, providing features that shooters demand.

  • No Weak Points: Our safeties are machined from solid bar-stock, eliminating the weaknesses found in cast or MIM (Metal Injection Molded) parts.
  • Material Choices: Choose from rugged, corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel for a classic look or durable Carbon Steel that can be finished to perfectly match your firearm's bluing.
  • Tactile & Audible Click: Engineered for a positive "snick" on and off, so you can be confident in your pistol's status through feel and sound.
  • Machined in the USA: Every part is made in our Quakertown, PA shop, ensuring the highest level of quality control.
