Some of you may have seen where I posted that I took my RIA out last week to the range and came home with a bloody hand. Hammer bite..not once, but twice. This was the second time I had it out to the range, the first time out I never got "bit" but the second time out...yea, after the second bite I put the 1911 away.
I am looking for a way to remedy this. I noticed that if I hold the gun high enough to get a thumbs forward grip on it the grip saftey that is currently on the weapon is slightly dug into the pad of my hand where the hammer comes back. However, if I lower my grip I can not get a proper thumbs forward grip. This has lead me to beleive that a new grip safety is the most logical solution...which leads me to my question.
What grip safeties will fit these or are they all interchangable? I love shooting this 1911, but got to admit the bite makes it a little less than fun...
Thanks guys!!
