I cannot find verification of my statement about the safety, so I withdraw it.

I may have been thinking about the minor changes made between the 1911 and the 1911A1.

In case I haven't made it clear previously, I'm a firm believer in condition 1.

But, and my memory may be failing me again, didn't JMB only add the grip safety at the insistence of the military?

If that is correct, then the slide safety would be the only thing preventing a discharge in his initial design.

That doesn't answer what his intentions would have been but it does remove an important safeguard.

Secondly, and I have no military experience to base this on, hasn't condition 3 always been the designated method of carry for the military?

Was this because the military didn't have enough faith in its recruits or was it deemed fast enough in combat?

If you are not going to be deterred from dropping the hammer, then try putting your finger UNDER the hammer.
