I'm thinking of getting on to put in my rock. But only pictures I can find are from the side. Does any one have comparison pictures of beavertail or a top view. Or any comments opinions of them? I'm tryng to stay away from the beavertail so I'd really like to see one before I bought it.

Do you mean the "'duck tail" style safety compared to a beavertail style? If so, do an image search on Google for the older Colt Gold Cups. They have the ducktail style safety.

Cal...if you like, I can send this one to you to look over and see if you want to use one. If you like it, keep it....if not just send her on back

I might take you up on that. But I'm leaning towards a pachmayr rubber one looks to be about the same and I like the feel of it. I appreciate the offer tho.

That's what makes this group of people and these forums awesome. COTEP rocks. You can't find a better group of people.

I mean who else or where else would you find someone that would just offer to ship off a part like that and say if you like it keep it if not well just send it back?

Sorry to hijack the thread by posting this but just wanted to throw that out there.

Since you didnt decide to use it....I attacked the tangs on my Rock and threw it on it :D. It will work nicely with the wide spur hammer thats going in the pistol
