Shooter212 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I just picked a brazos tuned edge the saftey comes off almost to easy. It’s noticeably easier then my other 1911s and my rock island double stack it’s replacing. This is for three gun and I don’t want it coming off during a dump. I am wondering if I should file on A or B for a more positive engagement. The picture doesn’t show but B does stop the saftey by hitting the slide.

kk4364 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Do you shoot without riding safety with thumb? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter212 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 I ride the safteys the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Why is there a big gap between the top of the safety and the cut in the slide? Is the safety not going all way up? It appears to not be fit properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
practical_man Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Assuming that the safety is fit properly and works as intended. Have you considered the simple option of a dimple in the safety so the detent has better engagement? Or a stronger detent spring? Could the detent spring be broken or the plunger too short? If you remove material at B in your diagram it will likely change engagement with the sear leg, requiring some adjustment there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) If the safety is fully engaged, then that space would indicate that either the slide's not cut properly or the barrel isn't fit right.

TimBoettcher Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 The safety is not fit correctly. It needs more material removed on the pad stop. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Look at where the plunger contacts the body of the safety in your photo compared to where it is in the photos I posted. The safety should be going all the way up into that cut in the slide so the plunger is below the corner on the safety. As Tim stated, you probably need to remove material from the internal portion that contacts the sear to bring it up. If somehow the safety is fit properly, which is not likely, but anything is possible with STI parts, then you have other issues. But 99% chance it's the safety.

Shooter212 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 The picture was bad it goes all the way up and sits in the slide like it should. It looks like it should go higher though for the plunger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Much better. I would move the corner at A (in the original photo) up a bit higher. That should do the trick. Go slow, take off a little at a time and keep checking until it's where you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
