Theyve been trying since the 60's, and probably before, to address the 1911's mode of carry.
Anyone remember the old Caraville Arms Double Ace conversions? And you thought the HK P7 was something novel.
Ive owned and carried both Series 70 and Series 80 Colts, and I preferred the 80's for that. Having dropped a freshly loaded, and not yet "safed" Commander to the kitchen floor (it didnt go off), I understood the advantage to the 80's. Never had a problem with one, and the triggers were just as good as the 70's.
Condition 2 makes no sense to me either. If youre afraid of the gun in its accepted safest mode of carrying it loaded, then do yourself, and the rest of us a favor, and get something else. There are plenty of guns available today, that will allow you to safely carry it loaded, and instantly ready for action.
Contrary to what the Colonel would have you believe, a decent DA auto, is just as easy to shoot well with as a 1911, if you bother to take the time to learn to do so.
