Question carrying a 1911 is NOISY?

OK, so I recently started carrying a Para-Ordinance Blackwatch Commander 1911 (3.5in) LDA.
The thing has a grip safety on it, and every time I take a step the damn thing rattles like a set of keys hanging off my belt.
This is my first "carry" 1911 with a grip safety so I don't know if this is a "normal" thing or not. Makes me wonder why I wanted to switch from my HK to begin with

Educated opinions welcomed.

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
