Is there a way to modify the safety of a 1911 so that it doesn’t work and you can still drop the hammer to fire the gun?
Basically getting a ghetto mark 23 phase 1 system on a 1911.
1911 safety that allows the gun to fire but stops slide - super quiet

Sure just break out that engineering degree and do it OP. No one's stopping you.
Jackson Powell
>hes gonna do this on a sub $1000 dollar new age 1911 with cast and or MIM parts and shear the saftey off after one shot.
Isaiah Rogers
Or you can carry a gun that isn't a meme for practical use.
Benjamin Smith
No, Big Boss, maybe you should get a different gun for that.
Cameron Wright
Are you retarded? What other gun would allow me to lock the action?
Asher Martinez
Put it in your mouth to test it.
Jose Thomas
100 years and still nicer to shoot than a pistol with $3 of plastic and stampings and a $20 barrel.

Smith and Wesson Model 39, modified to be a Mk. 22 Mod 0, which has a fucking slide lock you idiot.
Henry Perez
Caleb Anderson
Sure. Take it off, cut the bar off and drill where it was. Tap and thread the hole as well as the frame, and screw it on with a bolt. Slide locks weren't unique to the Mk23, they made Hi Powers, Berettas and S&Ws with them.
Brandon Jones
You should start with a gun that doesn't needs its external safety for you know...safety. A better candidate would be a modern polymer gun that offer an external safety as an option.
Leo Smith
Oh so I should just work on a gun that isn’t even production anymore and for which I can’t get a threaded barrel for or get it in stainless. Are you legitimately retarded?
Polymer is garbage and there’s the grip safety.

This
It was nicknamed the "hush puppy". It had a slide lock so all the gas went into the silencer, but could be unlocked to be full semi-auto. The design was to be able to silently kill sentry doggo's without alerting other sentries.

Nigga, use a fucking 59, dovetail new sights on, and tap a longer barrel so that it sticks out. Then engineer your stupid slide lock, based on the Mk. 22 design.

Stop making excuses for a 100+ year old antique. Your idea is doable but not by disabling the main safety on a gun that isn't drop safe.

very useful and insightful post

Update for OP, the way to modify the 59 would be to fuck with the slide lock, modifying the slide so that the slide lock can be pushed up to lock it closed. The existing hole for the slide lock could be used, and only a smallish cutout was required on the original. It was a pseudo-ambidextrous control, having locking surfaces on both sides. Pictured here is the right side of the gun, with the additional locking surface.

And here is the left side, showing the actual control itself. While it is possible that it could be activated using the right side locking surface, there is an actual lever on the left side.

Just use a Glock and put your thumb on the rear plate

The exact gun you are perfectly aware of that does exactly that, but you're pretending not to know because you want to convince yourself your ria 1911 >>>>is just as good
