It is said, that JMB Designed the 1911 without a thumb safety, and only added one after the US Military demanded it.gigag04 wrote:Can't say I recommend C0 with a 1911, but to each his own.
Don't know how true this is, and I carry in condition 1, but, in reality, how much different is a 1911, in condition 0, with the grip safety, than say, a glock with it's safe-action trigger?
Each has precisely one safety built into the normal mechanics of shooting, it's just it's location that is different.
Or you could combine both, and get a XDm, with a trigger safety, and a grip safety
EDIT: Also, I have unintentionally carried in C0 many, many times, when the thumb safety became accidentally disengaged throughout the course of my day. No sweat off my brow, as I never touch the trigger when unholstering. I simply re-set the safety, and carry on.
