Alot of people don't know it but if you take the rear sight off of a dovetailed series 80 1911 the firing pin block is exposed. I just want to make sure everyone understands that before I tell this story.
Instead all those dang officers who carry Glocks would be saying "I told him he should have gotten a Glock"

Greg.
With all due respect, I don't think the Colt series 80 safety system plunger hole extends into the rear sight dove tail.
It is certainly true that the plunger hole on the
Kimber series II safety system extends into the
dovetail.
These are two different systems.
Much misinformation arises, especially on the Internet, because the Kimber system is incorrectly referred to as "series 80".
The situation you described seems to apply to Kimber and not series 80.
Also the plunger on a Glock is very similar to the series 80 plunger.
Hope this helps.
