Hello all, I made the mistake of thinking that having disassembled the lockwork in an old Argentine .45 that I used to own meant that I would have no problem with the same disassembly in a Springfield 1911.
The mainspring housing and leaf spring came out with no problem.
Next, as I remember, you push out the safety, and the grip safety, which rides on the same pin, falls out once the safety is out. However, the safety will NOT come out. I hammered on it as hard as I dared, with no result.
Does anyone know what the next step in disassembly is?
