I've heard mixed reviews on the Wilson drop-in beavertails. I'm with you, though; I wish my Defender had a true beavertail instead of the duck-bill type.

 

44Man used a Wilson drop in Beavertail and it looks great! I liked it so much I ordered one for my defender.

 

How did you find the installation? Easy, hard, somewhere in between? I really do like the looks of those.

 

Wow, quick responses, thanks guys. The Wilson was at the top of my list. I was just worried about it matching. I'm trying not to play with my Defender too much, once I start, I won't stop.

Any pictures available?

 

TheReeves, here is a pic of my Defender with the Wilson BT installed. It makes a big difference for me as I have smallish hands and this installed gives me a better grip. HTH, Preston

 

I have used the Wilson Drop In Grip Safety twice and it worked well. Not as good as a custom fit or as well as some Springfield TRPs', but functional. I wish Colt would bring back the "X" Series.

 

Which model # Wilson fits the Defender?

Thanks

 

Thanks for the picture pjsjr, that is exactly what I needed!

 

TheReeves, your welcome.

wxl, I couldn't fine my receipt but I believe it was the 429SC. If this is not correct, I'm sure someone will come along and state so. Preston

 

The drop-in required would be the one for the Commander/Enhanced pistols....(smaller frame tangs then for for older Govt. models...)

 

Thanks

 

Those of you who installed the Drop In Wilson BT, did you have to fit it to your Defender? I'm having problems fitting mine and it looks like it might be the difference in size of the two tabs that go under the MSH. Just wondering what you guys had to do.

 

TheReeves,
I didn't install my own...but, I have seen instructions on the net somewhere and did think about doing it myself.

Because my Defender is for carry and I'm mechcanically challenged:biglaugh: I had it done at Colt's while they did some other work. Preston
