colt 1911 co2 pistol

[MikeB]

OK, first off a confession, I can't find the article that I was thinking of. I have included a couple of links here that illustrate the principle. The first is an article written by Masaad Ayoob showing the importance of the "high grip"

The second is a review on the 1911 by B.B Pelletier in his blog for Pyramid Air. This reinforces the fact that if the correct grip is taken the grip safety operates without you needing to be conscious of it.

I owned a Colt 1911 for a while and until I adopted the high grip I used to be very conscious of the grip safety.

I do hope this helps & that I haven't built your hopes up that I had discovered the Holy Grail to this problem.

Thanks Paul, that's very informative.
