Less likely to happen with a GI grip safety.ĭisabling the grip safety is one of those "personal decisions." You can wedge it down to see if you feel safe enough before you start cutting on it. Right, that is an Unintended Consequence of the beavertail grip safety. "My hand just puts reverse leverage on it, pushing up on it more than it pushes in."

He placed something like a black electrical tape around the grip safety and grip to pin it to the grip. Having said that, I was dog whining about it to another STI owner and he walked me over to the safety area where he pulled out his STI and told me here is how I solved it. It wasn't the Staccato's fault, it was my grip on the Staccato being too high, if that makes sense. I was too high on the grip safety and needed to slightly alter my grip to fire. Since I'd done this a few times before I knew why. Last weekend at a match, twice I pulled the trigger on my Staccato XL and nothing even though the safety was off. There is no daylight or gap there when I shoot it which is fine. I'm used to choking the living sh*t out of it which to say, not even an ant could crawl between the space of the web of my hand and what the G34 has as a beaver tail (which its not). I've been using Glock 34 for my match fun days for the last 7 years. I believe it came out of the box with a 2.5 lbs trigger so if you're poor match shooter like me, better be good with trigger and safety controls. It's my new fav now although I'm having to retrain myself slightly, again, to shooting a new platform with a grip and manual safety vs Glocks.

Or, you might see if there's a "super extended" grip safeties out there that you could have fitted. So a change in grip might be a more reliable option than a glue-on stopgap. Flipping off the safety and then moving my thumb lower to a more standard "thumbs forward" grip, with my strong hand thumb stacked on top of my support hand thumb's base, resolved the grip safety issue by putting more of my palm in contact with the grip safety. (Not as big a deal since it was just a range toy.) The fix I found for that one was not to ride the thumb safety like I usually do on 1911s. I've never had this issue with 1911s with extended safeties, but occasionally did with a Dan Wesson A2 whose grip safety doesn't have the extended hump at the bottom. The Staccatos already have an extended grip safety. I think anything you stick on is going to have durability issues.
