Not familiar with how that particular grip safety is designed, but it it's "floppy" in any way something is wrong.

There is about 1mm of lever action movement pivoting from grip safety to the thumb flare.
Just enough to friggin rattle.

I'd give Para-Ordinance a call.

I just sent them an e-mail.
A little "googleing" shows this to be a common thng for folks to "notice" after they start carrying the LDA (Light Double Action) and the "common fix" of the sear spring as noted above doesn't work because the sear spring itself is not that of a traditional 1911. That being the case, there is also no "fix" on the internet that I have been able to find this evening
We'll see what they say. I am becoming more and more disenchanted with Para...I ordered a 14-45 Custom from them in DECEMBER of last year with a delivery date in May...still waiting

1911, LOLOLOLOLOLOL.
(Get a real gun.)
Remember the 1911 was "state of the art" 99 years ago.
Grip safety, LOL.
And you switched from an HK? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. 
You made my day.

grip safety
TS: Hope you don't go against the guy who only owns a single 1911.
Eagle: Note JB dropped the grip safety on the BHP. I like to pin them on my personal 1911's
PS: I hate aluminum framed guns, plastic especially so; STEEL FOREVER!!!

I have 1911 which was rebuilt and tuned by a USAMU gunsmith six months ago or so, for simply the cost of parts. He was able to due it in 2 weeks and the gun is tight and shoots extremely well now, but it was a Springfield Arms to begin with.
TS,
Who are some of the better HK gunsmiths out there accepting work? I have a full size USP 45 that I wish to have massaged.

Good lord man you're kidding!!!
Every HK pistol I have can shoot holes through holes without any mod's. They have some of the best triggers I've ever pulled! (I sure wish HK would hire me as a salesman........ )
