Last night, I went to a gun show in the area looking for grips and a spare magazine for my Kimber CDP. Found a guy that sold dozens of styles. Settled on a pair of Ajax cherry with finger grooves. This would make up for the flat mainspring housing, which I'm still not quite used to. After installing them, I reloaded the pistol and flicked on the safety. This morning, it was on me when I went to pick up breakfast. When I got home, I decided to clear the weapon. I COULDN"T GET THE SAFETY OFF! I thought sure I cycled the gun a few times last night, but evidently not with the grip screw fully tight. The under flange of the ambi safety needs to move under the grip, and this is not provided for with the quite generic officer's style grips. Spent a good half hour with a fine file making a groove about 1/16" deep and 1/4" wide on the underside of the grip. Works fine now, but that could have been a disaster. Scared hell out of me.
