Wingman Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I've been building up some "TM style" 1911's and I keep running into the same problem. The right side thumb safety on TM and KJW pistols all seem to move around a bit whether they are in the "locked and cocked" position or the "down to fire" position. It is just an annoying situation that I would like to resolve either with a "fix" or replacement with "aftermarket" parts. My only other option is a "non-ambi extended thumb release" and I've not been able to locate any for the last couple of months. I dont have this issue with my Cybergun/KWC Colt Rail Guns, so I know it can be done. Thanks for the help. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Coat the male end of the ambi safety (not sure which side that is specifically) with a thin layer of super glue and let dry. It should provide extra tension when fitting the two back together on the gun. Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 the one on my MEU pistol uses a longer (I guess it is) sear pin to slot into the right side lever to keep it from wobbling Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted December 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 If I use the super glue treatment, will I still be able to disassemble the pieces? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yeah. The layer of glue is just to fix the sloppy tolerance. Test fit them together on their own to check it's a firm fit and can be removed when on the gun. Link to post Share on other sites
