john52 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I plan on shooting my sa 1911,problem when i go to disingage thumb safety my hand come comes off the grip safey. Plan on on changing grip for a smaller one and changing thumb safety either an extended one or lower or bother. I think this will give me a proper hand grip on pistol as well.

Amerflyer48 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 possible,.. hard to say not knowing your setup on the gun, your grip or hand size.. Grip safeties can also be "sensitized" to disengage with less force and some come with added metal at the bottom or a so called "memory pad" extended thumb safeties give you more of a shelf to rest your thumb Some folks in USPSA disable their grip safeties but I will not suggest you do or do not,..thats your decision.. welcome to the forum and enjoy !

3gunfun Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 If you use this 1911 for ANYTHING other than competition, I would not disable the grip safety, but as John said a good gunsmith can set it up and De-sensitize it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throttleup Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Disabled or pinned grip safeties are a no-go for IDPA competition. They also could put you in a vulnerable position in the event you needed to use your weapon in self-defense. Better to install a grip safety with a large "speed bump" and have your gunsmith shorten the release movement on the grip safety. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
