Wilson Combat Fitting Jig – Precision Beavertail Grip Safety Installation

Overview

The Wilson Combat Fitting Jig is a precision tool crafted to help you achieve a clean, accurate fit when installing a Wilson Beavertail grip safety. It clamps onto the hammer pin holes and the thumb safety holes, providing a reliable indexing reference as you shape the frame for a refined finish. This jig supports a careful workflow, helping you plan material removal with confidence rather than guesswork.

Key benefits at a glance

Designed to guide your cutting process, the jig helps you control where and how much material is removed, promoting a consistent, repeatable result. After the initial cut, only a small amount of hand work—just a few thousandths—may be needed to reach a precise, smooth surface. The included instructions walk you through setup and use, while the tool itself is built for use with hand files, giving you steady, tactile feedback as you work. For those who enjoy a bit more finesse, hobby files can assist with fine detailing.
