Since my Dan Wesson has the dreaded "horny safety," I have decided to replace it and (hopefully) save the webbing between my thumb and index finger. So far, I have narrowed my options to the following models from Wilson Combat. I am already leaning toward one over the other, but I also wanted to see what you guys think.

This is strictly a range gun, so holstering/concealing/etc are of no concern to me.

I'd leave the EGW on the DW

Do you mean keep the existing safety? My issue is that it needs to be de-horned, and I'd prefer to keep the stock part in case a future buyer (if I ever decide to sell) wants the original.

I was being a bit of a smart ass. I have the bulletproof on one of my guns & it works great. I have the stock EGW on my Specialist, as well as 2 other 1911s. I very much prefer the EGW. None of mine have issues with horns. I would not be happy if they did. As far as appearances, I think the Wilson Wide Comp safety matches the lines of the slide stop better than the bulletproof. The Bulletproof is much more rounded off. not that it effects function, but just something to think about... Best of luck!

Is it this one from EGW?

EGW is now on order. Looks like we will be having a second poll. :roll:
