I've heard that he only put the thumb safety on after the Army requested it...any truth to that one?
I read that too.

But John Moses Browning put a safety on the first, best, and only worthwhile semi-auto ever made, so if the M1911 has a safety then by God ALL semi-auto pistols need a safety.

Now salute some old dead gun makers and stop asking stupid questions!

Oh sure you think just 'cause you live really close to Eagle Peak you're better than me don't you? :biggrinjester: Well as soon as I find out who invented the Single Action/Double Action Auto-Loader I'll salute him! :patriot:

revolver safety

Guys,

Forgive me if this has been discussed into the dirt, but if revolvers almost never have safeties, why do people get hung up about having to have one on their auto? :headscratch I'm not a fan of gun safeties, but I do like my de-cocker. I visually scan 3 things before I holster every time: 1. Safety off 2. Round chambered 3. Hammer down.
