How do you remove High Power's Magazine Safety?

[DougB]

I'm getting one of the FEG Browning High Power clones within the next couple of days. Most comments I've read about these have been favorable, but many say they remove the magazine disconnect safety to improve the trigger pull (same with "real" Browning High Powers). So, how do you do this? Is it easily reversable? Anything to watch out for? Any safety issues to be concerned with (other than the obvious fact that deactivating this allows the gun to be fired with the magazine removed)?

Thanks.

Doug

There are better instructions on most hipower sites like www.fnhipower.com and the hipower forum on www.1911forum.com . I suggest you look there but the gist of it is below.

Basically the mag safety is held in the trigger by a pin. Drive that pin out carefully so you don't scratch your finish and for some triggers the safety will come right out.

For others you will have to remove the trigger to get the safety out and then put the trigger back in. Removing the trigger involves driving the pin holding it to the frame out. It only goes in/out one way (the pin is tapered so drive the small end out).
