I know why the current batch of semis are liked, pull it out, squeeze trigger, don't worry
about safety. Stuff happens fast, less steps, better chance of winning. I just don't
ever want an AD.

I thoroughly enjoy shooting my 1911's but I wouldn't carry one. It's
too easy to forget about the safety under stress.

Then you are not shooting a firearm with a safety often enough. You
dont have any muscle memory trained into your thumb.

That's exactly right. Fortunately, I know it.

My CQB instructor recalled a Navy Seal who once forgot the safety on
his 1911 in heat of battle, very nearly ending him. Seals train a
hell of a lot more than I ever intend to.

Gunner. who never "thinks" about removing the safety..but she ALWAYS
goes bang when she is supposed to.

Your thumb is smarter than my thumb!
