Additional Information

The Type 5 grooved thumb safety lock was introduced as part of Colt’s ongoing refinement to improve ergonomics. It provides users with a more tactile feel for manipulating the thumb safety, especially under stress or rapid movement. This version, though not the final evolution of Colt’s thumb safety design (which would be the Type 6 with the extended thumb piece), is still a significant improvement over earlier models. Collectors and shooters alike value it for its performance and its historical authenticity in Colt 1911s.
