So since I decided to keep my EMP, one of the items I want to do is replace the Ambi safety with a single side safety that will carry easier.
I had been looking at various Wilson Combat, Harrison and Ed Brown replacements, then a comment I read on one of their sights got me to thinking.
Someone had installed a, Wilson I think, single side safety and had installed the ambi safety from his EMP on to his Remington 1911 R1.
Which, perked my interest because I don't plan to carry the R1 so the ambi safety is fine for it.
So my thought was, instead of getting a new replacement for the EMP why not just swap the safeties. The one on the R1 is very low profile (early original style) single side.
What do you think. Aside from some minor fitting between the two ... I think it should work.
Thoughts?
(Note: Please forgive the Punisher grips, I had them laying about and I thought I would put them on for the giggles)
