1911 grip safety with the tallest "tactical bump"?
I just installed a Kimber bumped style grip safety on my Eclipse and found that the height of the bump is quite similar to the height of the standard safety. It just dips more during the upward part of the safety making it even less likely for me to properly engage it. Does anyone know of a safety with a bump thats taller than average? The only way for me to currently engage it reliably is to lower my ideal grip so that my thumb of my off hand is not riding the safety lever. The situation is keeping me from considering it as a potential carry weapon.

If the install does not look like this picture, you may still need some additional fitting:

Thanks. It is fit correctly. I need something higher close to the beavertail. Caspian seems like something I may try.

Re: 1911 grip safety with the tallest "tactical bump"?
The grip safeties from Ed Brown, Les Baer and Wilson are all pretty close to the same size "speed bump". I have put in a truckload. The "spoon" style on the Kimber's are thicker than a GI GS but lack the speed bump.
Remember thou, "drop in" usually dosent when it comes to 1911's.......
