This will cease to be an issue as you gain more reps with the 1911. Illegal, but don't jury-rig your gun safeties, even if you can get away with it. IMHO
Set your eyes on the target and concentrate on bringing the gun to your line of sight. Needs to be cultivated at the practice range. Then reinforced on the first shots of the match. A watchful buddy helps. I tape all practice.
