Hey all,
I was cleaning my 1911 and I noticed a problem with the thumb safety. The safety rotates too far upward when pushing it into the safe position, and as a result the plunger pushes out and gets trapped underneath the safety itself. This makes it impossible to put the safety into the fire position without using something to depress the plunger first. I've fired several thousand rounds through the gun, and haven't noticed anything like this until today. I removed and inspected the safety, and there doesn't seem to be any warping or other problems.
What do you think?
