Hey, anyone who owns or knows about guns please help me hehe I need to know how the grip safety works with the 1911s (any variation, since they're all clones of the original i think hehe)
I've search for a few days about the gun and I got really interested in the design, I understand all of the mechanics except for the Grip safety AND the mag release. I need to know how they work.
Here's what I understand about the two parts:
1. The grip safety has to be pressed down (by holding the gun properly) to allow the hammer to strike the firing pin to fire the bullet.
2. The mag release is held in place by a small tab that's removabe by turning it with a flat head screwdriver
What I don't get is:
1. What does the grip safety pull onto to not allow the hammer to strike the firing pin?
2. Everything about the magazine release......
Any help will be appreciated.
P.S. I've looked through alot of vidoes on the 1911s, and so far none showed me how the parts work....
