I am well known as a mechanical dunderhead. But my grip safety on my Colt Commander Series 80 was rattling so I attempted to adjust the leaf spring.

After a few frustrating attempts I was able to disassemble it.

After taking it apart I noticed these 2 parts that do not show up in my generic 1911 manual. They were up near the firing pin. (Hmmm - should I check my Colt manual? I just thought of that)

Anyway I have attached photos of the 2 unidentified parts. And a photo of the exploded gun diagram - they are not there.

Can anyone tell me what they are and how I can put my gun back together?

A sincere thanks
