Isn't there a big name 1911 maker that sells a model without a grip safety?
Gripping your pistol properly should be a non-issue with any decent training and practice. .

We have a winner!
I have seen a post on AR15.com from a guy who was robbed and shot the robber with his 1911. The victim got one round off before the robber shot him in the hand. It took some precious time but he was finaly able to grip the pistol enough to depress the grip safety to get off another shot or 2.
You will have to talk with him about that. If I can find the thread I will link it here. There were crime scene pics and pics of both the shooter and the perp in the hospital. it was a very detailed writeup.Too bad he didn't have another hand.
Oh. Wait.

When I got the first one, I played around with it for a while, dropping it on my floor (thin, hard carpet over concrete slab) from as high as I could reach. I even tried it standing on my couch. I couldn't get the hammer to drop after trying this for about a hour.
Actually the trigger moves FORWARD when it breaks, and that's all you feel. It passed the test, but I still wouldn't want to drop it with the hammer cocked and a loaded round.
