Grip safety issue

[ad5md]

I changed the trigger assembly on my Bul Armory SAS Ultralight into a modular one and now the grip safety won't work, hammer drops even if I don't activate the grip safety.  Is it rear part of the bow which is the problem? Thanks

likely the trigger bow is not moving far enough forward to allow the grip safety to rest and the arm is sitting on top of the bow, you will likely need to do some fitting on the grip safety to get things working properly again,

 I would say it is from Bum Armory since I got the pistol from a dealer.

 

I am thinking too that either the trigger bow is not moving far enough for the trip safety hook to rest on it or, the height of the trigger bow is low in dimension.  If it was the 1st scenario, I wonder it there is another way to fix it instead of working on the grip safety itself.  Otherwise I guess I will have to replace it.  If I do, I'm looking at the X-Vario one. Any other brands you guys can suggest. Thank you

if it's bul trigger system u need fit it to the gun. as i found it's not drop in system.

If you have instructions how to install this trigger , than   for proper work it is necessary to cancel the grip safety  and strengthen the leaf spring.

if you don't feel comfortable working on the grip safety then you should probably find a smith to have do the work for you.

eh, you learn by tinkering.  i realize this is literally a 'safety' issue, but it's easy enough to test the various safeties to ensure they're all working after the tinkering is done.  plus, at least some folks pin their grip safeties and rely on the thumb safety.

I completely understand learning by doing, but the OP seems to be looking for a "drop in" solution to his parts need fitted problem, thus my comment. 

 

Working on 19/2011s means you will be fitting parts, fitting parts means you are risking messing them up, if your not comfortable with that fact then send it to a professional. Personally I am a dyed in the wool do-it it your selfer, so I accept the risk every time I pick up a file or stone, luckily I have yet to get a part beyond repair but I know I will at some point.

If you've never totally buggered a part you have more patience than me.  I have a whole bag of mauser '93 bolt parts from when I was learning how to use a file and stone.  cheap lessons, valuable cheap lessons.  

 

But, yeah, you work on guns you assume the risk.  You pay someone, you assume the risk you hired someone who knows more than you.  the more you work, the more you know, the more expensive those people seem to get...

Always file or stone on the cheapest part.

Cut the arm off the grip safety, this should solve your problem.  Then you can pin it or just let it swing like a stock one.
