New Colt Defender!

Thanks! That's very helpful. I'm going to probably remove the grip safety and thumb safety from my other 1911 tonight and then reassemble to get a good look at everything

Good idea - you don't want to wind up with one of these horrors in the end, a 'drop-in grip-safety':

Holy moly, Andy..... is that a calibration slot for a .250" feeler gauge?!?!?!?

I am a long long way from being a gunsmith, but I have laid my hands and eyes on a lot of 1911's. I have never ever seen anything like that.

Stop talking bad about my custom gun!

Don't you operate, bro?

Just a Yoder smoker!!
