Pt 1911 Safety And Sight ??'s

I have a Taurus PT1911 that the factory ambi safety seems to have come apart inside. The RH side of it keeps working out and dosen't acticvate the other half of the safety. What is wrong? I'd like to change it over to a standard safety with a large lever....just eliminate the rh side. I put the soft Houge grips on when this problem started. Are the grips supposed to retain the safety? I have never been into a 1911 that far, but am no stranger to working on guns. Just wanted to know what to expect.

As for the sights, I'm an avid handloader and bullet caster, so I play around quite a bit with bullet weights. I'd like to fit a set of adjustable sights in place of the Straight 8's that are on it now. Does anyone make a set of adjustable sights that will fit without doing changing the dovetail cuts? I'd also like some kind of fiber optic front sight.
I really like this pistol, just want to fix a few things to make it the way I want it.
Thanks,
Andy
