Colt lower. over a thousand rounds on it. The trigger is locked in the fire position. The selector is in fire and will not move to safe. Nothing i do will get the trigger to unlock. i am thinking the selector. Going to bed now but would appreciate any help before i strip this thing down when i get up. It is factory.

Try cocking the hammer.   The bottom of the hammer is cam'd/lobed and will not allow the selector to be into the safe position with the hammer un-cocked.


If the hammer is cock back, then pull the pistol grip and confirm that the selector spring is installed correctly (not kinked), and the detent above the spring it in the channel moves freely (don't lose it though, and make sure that it's in place when you go to reload the spring and grip).

All true.
Selector, or safety?  Might make a difference
