It think it is correct. give it a try, if you don't get a response, someone here can get intouch with Gary
As HDGun said it causes play in the trigger bar so when inserting a mag it can hit the trigger bar and bump the sear causing the gun to fire. This happened to me last year so now I ALWAYS check my grip screws for tightness.

"This should be a great for new and experienced shooter."
a great what? Is that a singular form of "shooter", referring to plurals?
is this a mad lib?
let's make it so
"This should be a great ______ for new and experienced shooter."
i'll play mad libs first
Something you might try when speed reloading a 1911:
After I eject the mag and grasp the new mag from its pouch, like most guys in USPSA I rotate the pistol mag funnel towards my face. What I do that some don't is flick the safety up as I rotate the the funnel. It's a natural motion as you turn your right hand palm upward. Most importantly it locks the gun up (actually blocking the sear and hammer from moving). The hammer can't fall (the 1911 design is much safer than the most people think it is - it was designed for use by cavalry troopers) provided the pistol is in proper working order. I've never been comfortable leaving the safety off and slamming a fully loaded mag with 20-25 rounds into a pistol with a lightish trigger. With the safety "on" I don't worry about bumping the disconnector (which can happen - I've witnessed this) or inertial firing from a fire control malfunction. Guys that know me will tell you I reload pretty aggressively. A great deal of that comes from knowing everything's locked up nice when I run the mag home.
Great Match! It was well worth the drive down even thought he new baby only allowed me 3 hours of sleep!
Congrats to Matt and Matt on the wins!
Stage one had a swinger that could have been shot from two postions as well as targets to be shot leaving and coming into positions. Stage two seemed simple but begged the same questions on how hard you hit some targets while moving and how close you got to some far targets.
Thanks Jay. But more importantly... Congrats to YOU and the wifey on your new healthy arrival!
P.S. The match was great. I managed to screw up the classifier and come in second to last on that stage. Shooting the first two poppers I heard two "dings" and moved on quickly only to realize once I took the magazine out that one was still standing. Stupid rookie mistake on my part.
It felt good to be outside again even if it was chilly and rainy. There was one guy that was wearing shorts and a tee all day. I was cold just looking at him. And I was wearing Underarmor and a sweatshirt!
