I carry my 1911s cocked and locked, I am comfortable with it and have tested a variety of scenarios with them (carefully verified as unloaded of course) to ensure that they are what I consider safe.

Some time back I was running one of these scenarios, as part of my regular dry fire practice, when I found that the safety on one had become worn to the point that I felt that it was unsafe - so I had my gunsmith replace it. The previous safety was the original that came with a lower grade Charles Daly that I bought and had reworked into a "night fighter" and it started out a little loose but I never had a problem with it until that dry fire session. It was probably still quite safe when I had it replaced, but it is a carry gun after all . . .
