I just got a gun, very nice high end 1911. The ambi safety on the gun is an aftermarket...good quality unit. The levers had some play in them...which is not big deal and the safety felt very dry in its movement. I removed it to inspect and lube it and the right side was broken, where the two pcs. go togethor. Just enough left on the right side to "catch" the left side.
Now my question. The broken pcs..both have blueing in the broken area except for a very small section. It looks like it was cracked before getting blued. Whats your take on this...? Has it happened to anyone here?
I broke a safety like this when playing with my first 1911...I know its best to "file fit" the joint part of the safeties when they are too tight.
Ill get a new ambi safety next week...but wanted opinions on this...
The blueing in the broken area is something Ive never seen before.
Thanks alot and
Shoot well
