Photo of frame without the hand guards. Ensuring the hammer is cocked, wiggle the safety out of the frame 
This is a web site takedown instructions. I would assume not an ambi safety here are my pics of my 1911 with a ambi safety. How am I going to wiggle the safety out of the left side with the right side still attached 
What am I missing here. I broke the firing pin safety push rod so I have to break it down to replace |

The Kimber ambi safety is held together by a slotted pin that engages the right side of the safety. The pics in this post below should help while I look for a better picture of the safety itself. http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=97190 |

Wiggle the left side out then rotate the right past the pin and out ps: allways liked your avatar. Nice 1911 |

You have to wiggle the right side loose first, then swivel it upwards to clear the retaining pin. If you have a plastic mallet a (cover the safety with a piece of electrical tape) good smack to the left side safety will often loosen the right side and make removing it easier. |
