Grip Safety Question
 

I have a 1900 AE with the grip safety on it. I was curious about the lever on it when the safety is off. Is that lever suppose to move freely, pretty much flop back and forth. Or is there suppose to be a spring of some sort that keeps it out until you grasp the grip and squeeze it shut. Now when you put the safety on it stays in place like it is suppose to. It almost seems to me that there should be a spring or something keeping it out until the gun is being used.

Grip Safety Spring
 

There is a spring that fits at the base of the grip safety bar...

That makes since now. I see my issue, its a broken spring. It never caught my eye before cause I have never actually taken the grip safety apart.

I do appreciate it mark.

This is what the spring looked like after I did take it out of the frame. I never even knew there was a spring located there. I guess I still got a little to learn about these guns. Any ideas where I might get one of these from?

They aren't terribly hard to replace and Tom Heller (Lugerdoc) has them.

Thats the first taking that whole assembly apart since I have had it. Looking at the actual thumb safety part. Was it not stamped with the SN like later versions were. The main bar under the grip hs the correct SN stamped on it,but the actual part that is exposed by the ears of the frame has no SN.
