Model 41 Manual Safety - Is it Usable?

Mine isn't. It's almost painful to disengage the safety. So, how smooth is the operation of the manual safety on your Model 41?

Fixed it by simply backing off on the screw still leaving it snug. also oiled the sliding "thingie."

An unlubed "thingie" cause many problems, you just proved that theory again. Good luck and enjoy shooting.

It's important to use the appropriate technical nomenclature when possible, hence the use of "thingie."

As and old service tech I will vouch for that. The thingie is the little doohickey right next to the whatsit, I think.
