I grew up on the 1911, so I never had to adapt to it...
On the other, a GLOCK or the like makes me a little uneasy when I carry it.
on my hip, my 1911 is Condition One- cocked and locked. At night, in the nightstand, or in any sort of off body carry, it's Condition Three ( full magazine, empty chamber, hammer down.
Right at the moment, on the desk, it's Condition One- and I know that it's got a round in the chamber, because the hammer is back.
( I still press check every time I pick it up, but I really don't recall ever having been surprised either way)
When I holster, my palm rolls away from the grip safety, and my thumb blocks the hammer- for the last little click to seat it, my thumb is on the hammer, and my forefinger on the tail of the grip safety, pinching them towards each other- even if the thumb safety is off (Fire Position) and something was in the holster bearing on the trigger, it' will not fire.
While holstered, I can re-seat it if it works loose in the same fashion, and I can block the hammer with my forefinger while I check the thumb safety is in the safe position.
in my Draw Stroke, when I grasp the pistol, my hand is away from the grip safety, actually bearing on the tail, keeping it in the Safe Position until it clears leather and my grip tightens. The thumb safety comes off as the sights come into alignment.
so while I accept that the GLOCK type pistol is safe as long as I don't touch the trigger ( the occasional case of 'GLOCK leg' notwithstanding), I feel far more comfortable knowing that I have the thumb and grip safeties between me and the loud noise.
