it is a Swartz-type safety not a series 70 or 80 the swartz safety is a safety that blocks the firing pin from moving forward. When you grasp the pistol, the grip safety raises a rod that moves the block out of the way of the firing pin. Therefore, this safety does not affect the trigger pull unlike the series 80 trigger

Hi Carl and welcome. This model uses a Swartz Safety (similar to a Series 80 but does not affect trigger pull like the 80). I much prefer Series 70 1911's, bar none. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
