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.

I am not a gunsmith, but I always thought my sear spring kept the 1911 grip safety under tension.

I could be wrong though.
