Default Re: Sorry Dwight, Model 1911 - It can't be an -A1 </strong

The 1911A1 also has a longer horn on the grip safety. One major complaint for the 1911 was the hammer bite. In 1914 the spur of the hammer was lengthened, and during recoil this allowed it to reach back over the shorter horn of the 1911 grip safety and grab a piece of skin in the web between the thumb and forefinger.
