My friend and co-worker carries a Commander-sized 1911 with an ambi safety, and occasionally finds the safety "off", generally after getting out of his vehicle. He suspects the right side of the ambi safety rubbing against the car seat.
After buying a Kimber with an ambi safety, I had it replaced with a single safety. I've never found my safety "off", and I think his analysis is correct. Since I'm not a lefty, that seems like an easy solution. I did carry it safety-on, empty chamber for the first weekend, and the safety remained engaged.
The 1911 is not currently my every day carry (due to size; I'm working on it) I will get there and I do not worry about carrying C&L.
