Grip safety on Colt Night Defender

[Guest pdosafety]

I just got my Colt Night Defender in and i was playing around with it and found out the grip safety(Palm safety) is not working. This gun has never been fired and won't be unless i just have to. But i was wondering if there is something quick and simple i can look at and fix or do i just to go ahead and send it back? I hate to send it back and wait forever if it is something easy. I was wondering if any 1911 guru's no a trick? Thanks in advance.

Take it back to the shop where you purchased it. They may have a gunsmith that can take a look at it on the spot.

Define not working.

You can cock the hammer and with your hand off the grip and pull the trigger it will dry fire. If i cock it and push up on the palm safety towards the dove tail it will work. It almost like a spring is not tight enough or something.

Is the beavertail sticking? Or is it not disengaging?

Swing it by here and let one of our smiths look at it.
