It is the Buehler version that requires a screw to retain it.
There is a Mk 2 safety that uses no retaining feature but a little plastic button to provide some friction.
Either of these requires just a little gunsmith work to properly lift the striker off the sear via camming action when engaged.
I absolutely agree if a safety is malfunctioning,as yours is,it is dangerous and needs correction.
I also agree,on a fine rifle like your Kimber,an M-70 type sideswing safety such as a Gentry will cost you some money,but it would be an excellent solution.
