Safety Pin Hole Specs

[dbarn]

Have noticed on several older Colt 1911 & A1s that the safety pin hole sometimes has peening around the edges of the hole, leading me to believe this hole was sometimes out of spec or perhaps this was done to keep the safety from backing out too easily. Would appreciate your knowledge as to why this was done.
