claybrdr Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Just installed the Cylinder & Slide parts in my STI and got a great trigger pull of just a hair under 3# and very crisp. Lo and behold, the gun will fire (if loaded) with the safety on.... Now what? Any ideas where I can send it and get it back soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calishootr Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 sounds like your original safety is not mating up with the pad on the new sear, take it to your local knowlegeable gunsmith, tell em whats happening, let him look and see, push comes to shove, you mite, need to fit a new safety to that new hammer/sear set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Almost the same problem here- had to have the ambi's refit to work- no big deal- for some one with the knowledge and tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00bullitt Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 More than likely you will have to fit new safeties. But.....a good smith may be able to weld up or peen your current safeties for contact to block the sear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Order a set of SV ambis....they are the absolute easiest safeties to fit. All you need is a small file and a little bit of patience. Take the grip safety out so you can see where the tab and sear line up and trim the tab until it just barely slides in and contacts the sear.

Singlestack Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 ...or, go to any welding shop and have them put a very small spot weld on your safety. Then dremel it close and finish with a file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claybrdr Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 I'm afraid the above gunsmithing suggestions are beyond me...Hopefully, I can find a gunsmith that can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
