If someone does not like the Colt Series 80 firing pin safety, he should buy a Springfield 1911 instead. Another possibility is the Series 70 (or earlier) Colt. There are a few other brands as well that do not use the Series 80 device. As others above have eloquently stated, disabling a factory installed safety is a legal risk not worth the trouble, especially when other suitable pistols readily exist.
