so today i removed the thumb safety on my chiappa 1911-22. when i did that, a small spring and a pin fell out. then a piece of metal with a hole on one end and long curve on the other end fell out also. i have no idea where they cam from or what they do. but can anyone help me. i just wanna put them back in since i have no idea how to or where to.

thanks

Chris, check numrich gun parts, sometimes they have exploded diagrams to view.

ok i found out what the parts are the one is safety transfer bar. i have no idea where or what to do with that. th e pin and spring i placed back in they were the plunger spring and pin.

Im not familier with the Chiappa but it sounds like your describing series 80 parts.

 

Take a look here...

If so what your search fu needs to find is 1911 series 80 assembly diagrams...

sounds to be the slide stop plunger spring and safety lock plunger.. will take a pic of one of my 1911's and post it..

 

the spring is in the middle of the two..

 

 

 

ahh, just read your post again and missed the curved part.. not tearing my gun down that far.. but i do have a diagram i can post sounds like the hammer strut and pin.. see if i can get the dam scanner to work..

here you go.. better than screwing with the scanner..

this is all assuming the internals are still 1911...

Ok thanks for the help. I don't see the same piece but I know what it is and does. Just not how to put it in. It is the safety transfer bar. With this no in the safety does not work. It blocks the trigger from being pressed I believe just don't know how to put it in or exactly where. Thanks for everything guys I am looking all over to find it but now that I know that's what it is I am a lot less worried than I was before.

ship it out they will fix it

Hey shore shot,

Thanks for the advise but I already sent this pistol to chiappa once to get fixed and it cost me $50 for shipping. And that was from the dry fire problem becuase it was dry fired before I got it. I'd rather not dump that money into the gun right now. I'm gunna try to fix it myself, I met someone online that knows how to fix it and is going to send me a good description on what to do. Its just not worth sending out again. Thanks for the advise though.

Man that stinks. Ive been considering one of those for a while now. Hope it works out for you. Keep us updated.
