Hi, I'm trying to disassemble my 1911, and can't remove the ambidextrous thumb safety.

Everything I read and watch instructs me to move the safety "half way between on and off" and pull out. I simply can't find the spot. I'm afraid of pulling too hard and breaking the gun. I've already made marks on the finish in an attempt to remove the safety at that mythical mid-point. Is there some trick with the safeties used by norinco? I just can't get this thing to cooperate. My fingers are red and sore from trying.
 
The right grip panel retains the right side of most ambidextrous 1911 safeties.
Your grip panels have to be off. Are they?
 
I had a sport model before, the safety is held in by one of the pins. Remove the mainspring housing after field strip and the grips. Wigle the safety until it cleares the locking pin on the right then u can pull it out.
 
Always Red.

No wonder your fingers are red! Its a Chi-com reverse-engineered copy of the venerable Colt 1911. Soon the barrel bushing will turn red and that cheap oversize barrel will lead up.
My advice is to not take the safety off but hurry as fast as you can to Arcelor-Mittal in Hamilton and get them to melt that Chi-com bubble embedded steel. No matter how hard you try it will always be red.
The Chi-coms need your money to buy an aircraft carrier to threaten the West.

I take it you haven't met Hatman before. He is our resident Norc hating, tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy expert. Just ignore him, in a few minutes he will move on to the next Norc thread to spew his BS there. I thought he got banned, given his trolling habits, but I guess no one has complained loudly enough about him...

You gotta admit he has a great avatar, though, eh? :p

NAA.
 
Holy crap! That's her?

Until I saw her avatar I'd just assumed that that cranky ##### was a guy. What a #####...

Wait a minute...what are the chances....

Do you think that hatman1793 is actually Mauser GDog's wife? (That would explain a lot.)

If it is like my Charles Daly/Armscor the right side safety is held by a slot in the sear pin. I had a hard time to disassemble it the first few times used a small screwdriver to pry the left side out, very stiff, left some marks on the frame.
Removing the right grip panel to rotate the safety past the pin won't work, the safety will not rotate until the left safety is removed.

Aren't you on the other side of the spectrum, one of those who get orgasm when see Norinco prices?

Nah, but they are a great value. I have a couple and they are very good for what they cost. The NP-34 (228 clone) is in no way as well finished as a 228 is and I am sure the SIG trigger is better, too. For what I do with them, the Norc is more than adequate and saves me hundreds of $$$ to buy ammo and other guns with. Not all Norcs are great, but the 1911 and SIG lines are decent. As with a lot of things, YMMV.

Regardless of what you think of the products, Hatman spewing his racist, tinfoil laced diatribes about the Chinese building a super carrier with Norc profits is getting old and tiresome. If he dumped on the guns because of personal experience and quality issues, that would be fine IMO. But save the political agenda for the OT.
