Which manufacturer provides the highest ride?

Or do they pretty much all produce about the same results?

Wilsons High ride appears to have a higher grip in the pic but its hard to tell..

Any suggestions? SA Loaded.

I like the Springfield grip safety quite a bit. Especially on a Springfield gun.

I'm not too big a fan of the Ed Brown type, it does ride a tad bit higher, but the Springfield feels smoother in my hand.

Thanks for the help Guys.. Just wondering if it will provide a higher grip than whats on there and if the difference is worth the cost and time..
shoot one and find out for yourself.
I like the Brown and STI grips safeties, but don't have a problem with the SA grip safety. The Wilson GS doesn't feel as nice (in my hands) as the SA for some reason.

This is what I've noticed after handling all of 'em many times.

A Springfield grip safety installed by their custom shop is the best feeling one out there. They make the gun feel soft.

The Ed Brown is by far the best looking. Its too bad it wont fit my Springfield, I was thinking about having one fitted since the one on my TRP is a bit loose. (one part of the gun that was obviously not hand-fitted!).

it'll fit, but you have to have the tangs welded up first.

If you have the SA Loaded, then the Wilson or Smith & Alexander are your most popular options. Can't do EB, since it's a different radius.
LOL, yeah found that out the hard way. Bought the EB and the jig, then quickly realized it wasn't going to work. :eek:kie: Oh well, I'm sure it will get used on a future project. :embarassed:

Duh! Look like you'll have to get a new frame to build a new gun. :rofl:
Yep, just let all the stuff accumulate until it's a no brainer. When I put this together, the only thing I needed to buy was the frame, safety, trigger, and plunger tube.

:supergrin:

Nice. I hope to accumulate enough parts and then just put together a "spare" gun later. :supergrin:
