1911 Sear Disconnect: Safety or No?

I've gotten too many comments and PMs asking about the "safety" that keeps the 1911 from firing out of battery. I hope this video sheds a little light on the subject.

I think the point she is trying to make is that safeties are not part of the function of a gun firing. Both definitions are correct.

Hi there. Great video. Why does the disconnector fall down in battery during function testing. And sometimes the disconnector wont rise up causing the hammer not to fall when trying to pull the trigger and dry fire. How does someone remedy this problem?

Nice video, and great explanation. However, in the interest of maintaining proper firearm nomenclature, I must point out that there is no such thing as a "sear disconnect" on the 1911 pistol. The part being referenced is the "Disconnector." This may seem like a small point, but I think it important to call a spade a spade. A "clip" is not a "magazine," nor is a "disconnector" a "sear disconnect." Otherwise a decent post.

@163nel no have you tried to do a trigger job on it or anything it is safe to fire its just the safety isn't working
