SA 1911A1 Hammer/Sear problem

After fitting the safety to the sear, there should be no more than .005" movement from the sear when pulling the trigger.
That right there is beyond me. Maybe I'll buy the parts, though, and see if they fit/work together in the frame.
 
Riley, he was telling you how to tell if it works.

If what you say is so, and that's beyond you, then you won't be able to tell if what you buy works.

If it goes "bang" everytime, I figure it works. :p I have no idea whether it's .05" or .000005" 'cause that's not my field of expertise. I'll do one helluva tax return for ya though. :neener:
 
All aftermarket safeties I've tried have had to be fitted, because they make the lug oversize.........so it can be fitted to the particular sear.

I'll make ya a trade.........I'll fit your safety, you do my taxes? :)

Yes, if I could figure out how to get the pistol to 'ya and it's more or less an equal barter. Now if you're running a big company with thousands of employees and have lots of offshore bank accounts, etc., we'd have to talk some 'boot'. :p

Yup, so did I. Common mistake.

Going "bang" every time you have a safety on is frowned on at our range, but I can see how it could be okay at an accountant's range. :neener:
