I want to swap the 1911 thumb safety from my Wiley Clapp LW Commander to my Colt Series 80 1991. It passes the safety tests on the 1991, including the click test. When overrotating the hammer (a Harrison retro spur hammer) past full cock, it turns smoothly until it kisses the GS tang. Now...

I have quite a lot of side to side play on the trigger of my Colt Gold Cup. Maybe the frame slots are out of spec, maybe it is the stirrup. I'm looking at reducing the play either with a Kings replacement trigger or by forcing the Colt stirrups out using the Brownells trigger stirrup die...
