I bought 2 really nice Colt 1911's from a friend...
On of them has a non functioning backstrap safety. The lever moves but the gun will fire whether the backstrap is compressed or not...
Any ideas? Any 1911 experts want to take a look?
My next stop is youtube... the only "gunsmith" (at a local and LARGE gunstore) I took it to couldn't figure out how to take out the barrel (it has a full length guide rod)...
thanks
