1911 springfield armory safety issue
Ok my springfield armory 1911 ultra compact safety switch keeps going from the safe to fire when holstered. Done it since I bought it. Anybody else have this issue. There a fair amount of resistance to switch safe to fire. But in a holster it just switches on it own.

Re: 1911 springfield armory safety issue
Are you sure it does this when you holster it.....or when you un-holster it?

Re: 1911 springfield armory safety issue
Leather holster? Kydex holster? Plastic molded? Or.....just give me the brand name of the holster. I'm suspecting that when you move (perhaps bend over or stoop over) the safety must come in contact with the holster. My other thoughts would be have you ever had any safety work or other custom work done to the firearm? And did you buy it new or used?
Thanks

I had the same problem with a full size. Replacing the ambi safety with a single sided one was the answer for me.
