What You Need To Know About Thumb Safeties!

[@mitsumanic]

Perfect timing! I just got my parts back from being plated. A little refresher before building is always good.

[@fusionfirearms]

Excellent!

I just received my replacement ambi safety from you guys, took three passes with a #2 swiss patterned file and my 1911 is now 100%! Thankyou for the correct part, and quick shipment! So excited to get back out on the range. Thank you!!

[@fusionfirearms]

That is awesome! Let us know if you need any more help.

[@jamessamuelsen8479]

I watched 20 videos on install of ambi-safety. This by far was the best. Explained every potential issue and how to deal with it. Kudos-a real expert.

I built a 1911 45acp and had to fit just about everything after everything fitted it felt great at the range .Then I built a 1911 9mm and could not believe it no fitting I was so disappointed but then so relieved .

where's part two

Hi! I am planning to purchase WC 423B thumb safety, I found out it is made from cast metal would you recommend to proceed in getting that it? I could not afford the WC Bullet Proof Thumb safety (made from forged steel) so I would settle for the WC 423B model

[@fusionfirearms]

It is really a personal decision and what you are trying to build. They is no issue with cast products if they are manufactured properly. So, the cast should be fine.

[@tomcurran8470]

This is the opposite of the Wilson Combat video on installing 1911 safties. In the Wilson Combat vid, the gunsmith in just does it and gives almost no details on how or the intricacies of the procedure. You should buy a Fusion gun just because of these great videos.

[@fusionfirearms]

Thank you for your nice comments! We try to make these as simple as possible so folks can service their products at home.

I have never seen an ambi use a sear pin to slide on it is on the hammer pin, please know what you are saying, when you take on the teacher role

[@fusionfirearms]

Sir, It is not the hammer pin, it is the sear pin that "Some" Ambi will use a pin, extended pin with a slot. Yes, this is a fact.

[@tomgiorgini9154]

@@fusionfirearms thanks for the info i have never seen one hook on the sear pin sorry

[@harrycallahan692]

Hi Bob...I own a 1911 chambered in .50 GI. The pistol produces so much recoil that the safety would flip up locking the pistol into safe prohibiting the next shot. I was told the proper grip position is to rest my right thumb on top of the safety lever thereby prohibiting the lock up. Would you agree with this or is the pistol malfunctioning? I don't like this happening. Is this something you can correct?

[@fusionfirearms]

Not sure, I woudl have to look at it. I would start at increasing the detent in the thumb safety and then spring tension on the plunger, and try it again. This would be a good start.

[@ScottAT]

Mr. Callahan, does it make audiable clicks talking it on or off? Positive no questions on/off? Have the plunger tube spring replaced, try that.
