Joshua,

If you will remove the left grip, you can see how the grip safety works. There is a small leaf spring that makes the safety return to the "out" position. If this spring is broken or has slipped so that it is not pushing the safety out, the grip safety will remain next to the backstrap.

Sometimes the wood of the grip will swell and rub against the safety and keep it from working correctly. If the grip safety lever springs out when you remove the left grip, then this is the problem. A small amount of wood removal in the place where it is rubbing will correct the problem.
