I was at area 6 over the weekend and there was some talk of a new rule on the way in single stack to require the grip safety to work. Anybody else hear anything about that?
For me that is a deal killer as if I have a good grip on the gun, and my thumb...

I doubt any aftermarket grip safety will drop curious which aftermarket grip safety will fit the SIG 1911 XO.

Since new, the grip safety has always rattled. Actually, you can dry fire the gun by giving the gun a quick jerk downward without having your hand on the safety. If your just holding it in any position, it will not fire, but I do not know if this is a...

I just bought a NOS 70s Commander grip safety (very short tang) for my Series 80 Commander (beavertail style only skinny and tasteful). Can I expect it to be a more-or-less drop in replacement part? These aren't fitted like thumb safeties, right...?

A 70 Series grip safety will not work? All the eBay ad said was 1980s factory Colt Commander grip safety.

Due to an old shooting hand injury, I do not completely depress the grip safety when I try a high thumb hold. I am fine if I use a low grip (shooting thumb below safety). I know the high thumb is faster and supposedly reduces recoil, although 230 gr hardball...

Fairly new to 1911. A while back I got a new S&W SW1911TA which I really like. Fit and finish seem about as perfect as possible. But have a question about the grip. I noticed that the grip safety releases with just the slightest amount of pressure. Although...

The GS on my SA Champion wiggles from side to side and when I grip the pistol, occasionally it will catch/stick on the hammer strut.
What are my remedies?

I asked this in the Colt forum and the answer, which was depressing, sent me here. Is there any reason a Colt factory grip safety made in the 1980s, with a short tang, shouldn't drop into a current production Series 80 that has the skinny modified beavertail...

A client took me out to lunch the other day.

Finished it up and called it a day.
Next morning I opened the safe and found this. Maybe I had grabbed the wrong fitting jig?
I guess I should ...
