Anyone know where I can score a new grip safety for my Springfield Loaded model? Springfield won't do it, safety issue they say.

Are you going to be replacing it yourself?
Check Brownells, they have a large selection of grip safeties. Just remember that there is no such thing as a drop-in safety. They all have to be fitted to the gun.

Yeah, I've checked Brownells. Problem is that Springfield put a funky compound curve on theirs. It is proprietary.
I am going to do it myself, I really didn't want to take it to gunsmith to have the frame recut. I c/o the trigger, and the bow/safety interface is a little off.

what do you mean, is there something wrong with the one you have? or don't you like it?Originally Posted by TomMcC

The shape, fit to my hand is fine, but the trigger bow to safety interface was tuned for a different skeletonized trigger. I've fitted a solid trigger, and now the grip safety doesn't work. I would like to get a stock part, and retune it. It is only a $20-$25 part, but Springfield said no.

When you say doesn't work, do you mean that it does not engage or dis-engage?

Without being depressed the trigger can be pulled.

Tom, you can also build up with a little weld the part that stops the trigger, and then file it to your taste...

There is true enlightenment and knowledge of the universe, and then above that level is a non-gun smith working on 1911s. I'm kind of slow, so fitting a Wilson 'drop-in' beavertail safety took me a whole weekend as I started to understand the intricasies of the relationship between trigger bow and frame interaction with the safety.
Didn't realize SA had some propietary parts...

S&A makes a grip safety specific to Springfield. Give them a call.
