Don't know too much about the 1911 internals, so would like to know, why does the 1911 require both grip safety and thumb safety. I know thumb safety prevents sear movement, grip safety prevents trigger movement. As long as one of the safeties on active, is there a chance the hammer can still fall?
Edit: I looked at some diagrams, looks like it is possible for the sear to move even if trigger isn't depressed? Like if it's dropped? Doesn't seem like there's a point for the grip safety.
