I purchased an Ed Brown beavertail safety from midwayusa, model 868-1, their ad said for series 70 or 80, but when I installed it in a 9mm series 70 Colt commander the "nose"?, is too short to prevent the trigger bow from moving. There is enough movement that the pistol will fire without depressing the safety. (installation is correct, the trigger moves freely when the safety is depressed but will still moves a little when not. I relieved the underside slightly, more of a polish, so it would slide over the trigger bow but did not alter the length). I noticed on Ed Brown's website that the model I purchased is for a series 80 pistol, is this the reason it won't work? Is the part that engages the trigger bow longer on a series 70 model? I can accept that I should have researched a little more and may have purchased the wrong model, but I need o know if I purchase another for a series 70 pistol it will work. OR.... do I have another problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.
