Does the S&W 1911 have a firing pin safety, such as the Schwartz (Kimber Series II) or the Colt Series 80?

Thanks,

Justin

IIRC, they are original design except for the external extractor. IOW, no FPS.

They do have some sort of internal trigger lock in the MSH, IIRC.

Yes, the S&W does use a Schwartz type firing pin safety that works off of the grip safety.
