Spark, From what I have read your grip safety is no longer among the functioning. You might be able to peen the edges of the tang that mates against the trigger to lengthen it and stop the trigger movement but I would not try. Grip safeties are reasonably cheap and not all that hard to fit. A properly fit grip safety does much to ease one's worries.
