Benefits for Shooters

Traditional cast or stamped safeties can flex or wear over time. The EGW HD model eliminates those concerns by starting as solid barstock, resulting in a part that maintains tight tolerances and crisp function. The serrated surface reduces the chance of slippage during high-stress draws or manipulations, giving you faster, more confident control when it matters most.
