Ed Brown or Cylinder and Slide?

They both offer a stainless extended safety for 1911's.

One's $30, the other $35.

I'm guessing quality and fit-wise it's six of one/half dozen of another.

Is that right?

I've used Ed Brown parts before and really liked them. I've only used C&S stuff once on a HighPower it was alright. Both offer quality stuff but I'd go with Ed.

I've used both EB and CS parts on my 1911. Can say enough for both of them. Top notch quality either way. I'd go with whatever is either cheaper or available.
