Farmall,
Not sure if you got the problem with your safety fixed or not. I had just bought a PT1911 in December. I had not messed with the grips or anything. It has the Ambi as well. I went to the range and put 100 rounds through it for breaking in period. A couple days later, I pulled the 1911 out of holster, and the safety fell out. In my case it was the left side safety. Needless to say, I had to send it back to Taurus and waited 2 1/2 weeks for them to fix the problem. All they would tell me is that yes it broke and yes they replaced it, however, did not know why it broke.

If you were able to fix yours on your own, could you please let me know. I am intrested as well in just removing my new ambi and going with just the safety on the left side of the gun.

Thanks
