Upgrade your 1911 or 2011 with one-piece CNC-machined ambidextrous safeties featuring slide-clearance shields for clean competition runs. The competition-optimised layout delivers confident, repeatable safety engagement under match pressure — with an oversized left paddle for right-handed shooters and a low-profile right paddle for weak-hand work.

Boss 1911/2011 Ambidextrous Safeties with Shields

Built for competition. Engineered for confidence. A one-piece, CNC-machined design delivers tighter tolerances, a smooth, consistent feel, and shielded clearance to keep your stage runs clean.

Fit

  • Designed for STI and Bul Armory 1911/2011
  • Also fits Staccato 2011
  • Other makes and clones not tested by us
  • Known not to fit: Kimber 2K11 (aluminium grip)
  • Not a drop-in part. Gunsmith fitting required.
  • Not sure? Ask us before you buy.

Benefits

  • Stronger, more precise control: one-piece CNC construction eliminates joints that can flex—resulting in repeatable engagement under match pressure.
  • Confidence on the clock: shielded profiles help prevent slide contact as your grip evolves through movement and positions.
  • Division notes: IPSC Classic allows custom mag release buttons and single or ambidextrous thumb safeties, and thumb shields only if they do not act as a thumb rest (IPSC Handgun Rules, Jan 2026, Appendix D3, rule 19). Also suits Standard and Open. Check your division rules before match day.

Key Features

  • CNC-Machined, One-Piece: built for durability and consistent actuation.
  • Competition-Optimised Ambi Layout: oversized left paddle for right-handed shooters; low-profile right paddle for quick weak-hand work.
  • Slide-Clearance Shields: reduce interference and mitigate malfunctions during dynamic stages.
  • IPSC/USPSA Ready: designed for worry-free match use.
  • Approx. 25 g unit weight: balanced feel for control without bulk.
  • Will fit: In the IPSC standard check box

Installation & Safety

  • Gunsmith fit required: this is not a drop-in part; minor fitting is expected.
  • Function test required: verify correct engagement with your platform unloaded before any live rounds.

Perfect Pairings

Built by Boss Components for competitors who demand reliability, ergonomics, and repeatable performance—stage after stage.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 18 reviews.

The safety lever feels great and looks cool. Only problem is I’m new to parts fitting, and I screwed up the internal angles while trying to learn, and it’s basically useless now. I’ll need to order another one soon! Feels good when gripping my pistol, and easy to manipulate.

Customer photo review of 1911/2011 Ambidextrous Safeties with Shields | One-Piece CNC

Installed them on quite a number of guns now. A few Classic Division guns shown here. The black one is for a lady shooter and needed no modification to fit her hand. The Silver one hade some reshaping to fit my larger hand. All have looked and performed fantastically. Great product.

Terrific service from Boss Components ,I have purchased from Boss several times and its always been excellent quality. Latest purchase of ambi safeties were top notch and precision made. Highly recommend these guys.

Absolute top service from Boss Components! The item I purchased happened to be the wrong part (of my own fault). I contacted BC for a refund and heard back from them on the same day. I posted the item back for an exchange, the whole process was super quick and effortless. Thank you!

On fitting the BOSS Ambidextrous stainless steel safety I was pleasantly surprised with the width of both sides of the safety and the cross hatch chequering which offered great support, the sheilds are a good height and not too high allowing me to cycle the slide from rear serrations, with another important element of the safety for me, the detent which meets the safety tube plunger is A1 and meets without the need to modify like many others that need modifying at that point. Operates well from both sides with a positive action. Thanks BOSS Components
