Alrighty, I will try one when I get a chance.Sorry, I can't help. Might try one of the 1911 forums.

No matter the position of the safety the hammer will drop, which is why I think its not getting enough contact... I can't see how to give it more?
It appears to be worn on the grip safety.trigger doesn't appear to be bent. And I checked if it was dropping down behind and it was.Does it look like the nose of the grip safety has been worn or ground down?
Does the trigger bow appear worn or bent?
When released, is the nose of the grip safety actually dropping down behind the rear of the trigger bow?
Your all good. I thought about welding it up but ended up just tweaking the trigger and grip safety surface again and the problem was fixed. It's unfortunately just a shooter as the finish has been redone because someone had nickeled itand i reblued it. I really don't know how much it would be worth even lolI’m not trying to be a small a$$, but if it’s a known issue, I’d just live with it on that gun. I’m assuming you aren’t carrying a 1918 Colt for defensive use, and many fold over the past century plus have done all kinds of things to deactivate the grip safety. You can find original pre -A1 grip safeties on eBay and such. You might get one of them that matches the finish decently and swap them out to try. Or, since it’s an internal surface, you could have the grip safety built up with welded material and refit it, but for what I am assuming is an occasional shooter and def a collectors item, I’d probably just leave it alone.
