Thanks guys, looks like there's quite a few options. The Bersa looks like it matches everything I was looking for, plus it is in production, inexpensive and available in different calibers and sizes. I can't imagine it is super nice at that price but if I ever get a really aesthetically nice handgun it will almost certainly be a 1911. The HKs have a really good reputation but are pricey for a plastic gun, not that that is practically a bad thing.
Can anyone with a Jericho/Baby Eagle confirm that the manual safety can be put on with hammer down?
As for why I would prefer this functionality, it's just personal preference. Having used only a 1911 safety and a P226 DA trigger, I don't think it would be too much of an imposition to have both, and I don't think it would add extra seconds or uncertainty versus a safety on a cocked gun. Plus, if you practice with the safety on and hammer down, I don't think a safety off (or nonexistent) or a hammer cocked would trip you up.
Maybe it's not warranted, but other configurations concern me with the possibility of either a manual safety being caught on something and leaving the gun unsafe or a trigger without manual safety snagging and firing. Especially with some of the methods of concealed carry I've seen.
Plus, I just like having a manual safety and leaving the hammer down in general. I know that isn't very popular, but considering how many different guns are available I don't think it's too bizarre.
