If someone was to state that they carry a 1911 in condition 0 they would be promptly chastised by the majority and told that they should always carry a 1911 in condition 1.
When discussing striker fired pistols most people consider a thumb safety useless and many if not most striker fired guns are sold without one including the XD which is SA (it’s optional on one model).
A modern pistol in good working order, 1911 or striker fired, is not going to discharge unless the trigger is pulled. Striker fired pistols don’t have a true DA pull, it’s only slightly heavier than a 1911.
So why the disconnect? Irrational fear by 1911 owners? Denial by striker fired pistol owners? Can’t have it both ways, it’s either safe or not.
