I installed a Wilson thumb safety in my SW1911SC. It took some fitting but it works GREAT NOW. Thanks to the sticky "How 1911 safetys work..." I know understand some things and I have a question.
The thumb safety now has a nice positive feel to it. I can feel when I click it on and off. Now that I know how it works I assume the clicking is caused by the safety rubbing againts the Sear as it rotates and clicks on and off.
Is this a problem ? should I do a little more fitting so it doesnt rub ? Or should it rub a little so it is less lickly to get knocked off accidently ? Will the rubbing cause problems to the Sear or the Safety ?
Thanks,
J
