    Grip Safety "Sticking" on my 1911

    I just recently replaced the trigger and hammer on my Springfield GI.

    The parts fit well, and everything functions properly, however ...
    When the grip safety and the trigger are pressed simultaiously, they "stick".

    I took it back apart, took emery cloth to the trigger bow, lubed it up and made sure it moved back and forth smoothly in it's track, which it does. Re-assembled the pistol, and it still sticks ... seemingly even worse. :mad:

    Someone on another forum suggested that I file down the arm on the grip safety, but I'm not sure what part of the arm I'm suppose to file, at what angle, and/or if that's even the problem. :rolleyes:

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
