Brownells Gunsmith KinksĀ® - January 2010

Keeping Ambi Safeties from Separating
-- Shannon Jennings

To keep ambi safeties on 1911's from separating, I often dress the interlocking ends and squeeze the female end to get a tight fit. This makes removing them from the pistol even more difficult. You can mill a shallow notch on the back of the right ambi to allow a small screwdriver a foot hold to pry the lever out. It isn't very noticeable when assembled. It is less noticeable if the pistol and safety are black. Know your customer, there are some who will object to the notch.
