Only true problem I saw was the ambi-safe is pretty loose (so loc-tite, but never open again), and the grip safety had an abnormally high rate of not functioning off the production line.
Well, it is possible to decock a 1911 hammer and just keep a round breeched too. Draw the GBB and cock the hammer one handed in a game.

The safety cannot be secured with loctite but you could probably crazy glue it in place if you didn't want to ever activate the safety. I note that it isn't too lose on the sample though.
