I borrowed the 1911 cutaway pic to show the problem I'm having
I replaced the hammer and sear on my TRP with Ed Brown components which work great in every other respect except that it takes some force to get the thumb safety all the way up with the hammer at full cock. I had a good look while putting the components together with the grip safety out and saw that the thumb safety, as labeled 1 in the picture, is bumping into the hammer at the point labeled 2 in the picture.
The question I have is how do I fix this problem as safely and simply as possible? It seems like I should just file off the back of the thumb safety post until it clears the hammer, but I want to make sure before I proceed.
