It was in a bag of parts that I received so I threw it on a Series 70 from 1977 and it was a perfect fit. Its actually quite comfortable.

Your photos are better than what I have on hand, but you can see the casting lines in your photos. Very reminiscent of AMT's small parts.

Awesome Frankengun. I've been meaning to start a thread . . . . .

The end of yours looks a bit ground down. Here is a closeup of the Longslide GS.

Yeah, looks like someone said an early Colt XSE safety is the worst beavertail ever, then TJ said “hold my beer”

After looking at all of the pictures, im convinced by looking at the shape that its a ground down and beat up AMT grip safety.

I’m sorry you probably took a loss on that pistol. I didn’t mind taking a couple shots at it’s previous owner but I knew too that it involved you. hope when that grail of yours arrives, it’s everything you want it to be. Cool things are fun. No need to tag me in the future.

I’m not sure who touched you in the wrong places but it wasn’t me. I’ve tried to ignore you and I’d suggest you just move on with your life as I have.
