Grip safety for Norinco 1911A1

[Fabi75]

Unfortunately the new hammer I installed in my Norinco 1911A1 does not fit in the stock grip safety. Therefore I want to replace it .... which of the grip safeties Midway is selling do you recommend? Which one is the easiest to install (with no gunsmithing required if possible)?

Here's the link to the grip safeties Midway is offering:

Thanks,

Just bob you present hammer a little if possible Save your money.

What type of hammer did you put in your Norinco? Usually you need to get a shorter Commander style hammer if you change grip safeties to a wide beavertail type, just about any hammer should fit in the stock set up. Kind of why Michael T's answer is a bit confusing. His advice works for the typical grip safety replacement, not a hammer replacement.

For ease of installation, try one of the "drop-in" grip safeties...although as everyone will say, drop-in parts are not necessarily always "drop-in".
