Grip safeties are supposed to be ‘invisible’. Try cleaning then polish.
I have a well broken in PT1911, and the grip safety is easy to disengage. I agree with the lube it, clean it, shoot it, repeat approach.Awesome, thank you, I just wasn't sure if the condition is normal for a PT1911![]()
While "I" don't consider your problem normal, I would still go through the check list, in lieu of shipping it back immediately. I have had firearms, multiple manufacturers, that displayed an unusual "tic" that disappeared within 100 rounds or so, only one of which, not Taurus, ever went back.Awesome, thank you, I just wasn't sure if the condition is normal for a PT1911![]()
Hard to say, a lot of variation in assembly of the PT1911, so it can be about anywhere.I just picked up a newer PT1911 and may have a problem with the grip safety.
How stiff are they supposed to be?
I really have to squeeze it to disengage and it feels gritty, well compared to my new RIA Ultra that I also recently bought.
The trigger feels pretty good but does not break anywhere near as nice as the RIA.
Thanks in advance!
