grip safety

[riderrick]

Have a colt series 80. Purchased used someone removed the fire pin safety plunger (order new 1), does this effect the grip safety?

Not on the Colt Series 80, it uses a lever off the trigger group - the other kind (known as the Swartz safety and used by Kimber among others) uses a lever off the grip safety to lift the pin safety. Firing pin safeties are generally irrelevant any how.

To bad I can't see in there. I'd like to know why the safety is disengaged without moving the GS.

This guy shows you the difference - his terminology sucks, but the corrections are on screen
