Yes of course the Swartz works through the grip safety but unless you depress
the safety you can't pull the trigger,right?
My poor eyes deceive that's for sure,here's what I see Mr. Tuner,a)the horizontal ribs are still fully engaged.there's daylight at the rear and top but
not at the front.b)the barrel is fully tilted downward and no part of it seems to
protrude from the slide.c)the barrel link seems to be perpendicular to the barrel.What I don't see is where the barrel hood is no longer in contact with the
breech face.I know less about 1911's than you've forgotten and I don't think you've forgot much but I called this one as I saw it.
