I'm not aware of there being a...oh, VERY nice.<br /><br />I'm not aware of there being any extended safeties specifically manufactured for that model.<br /><br />But.<br /><br />Seems to me there are some diagrams in George Nonte's classic manual of pistolsmithing (of the same name) about how to make an extended safety for the Browning Hi-Power, when no such thing existed. It involved filing an approximately 3/16" groove across the safety, parallel with the existing grooves most have, and then taking some 3/16" mild steel and cutting it into an appropriate "gas pedal" shape, 20 LPI grooves in the top surface to help with traction optional, then silver solder it into the groove on the original safety in the obvious orientation and direction. Very slight downward bend in the forward part of this safety is optional, depending on the height at which you put it in. Refinish to match, reassemble, and there you are.<br /><br />Seems to me this idea is readily adapted to the M1903, and many other designs besides.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
