I was in the Hugo WalMart today buying a box of ammo. They actually had two boxes of .45ACP. Anyway, the clerk said, "Your hammer is back." "Pardon?" says I. "Your hammer is back, why do you carry it like that?"
So pointed out the grip safety, told him about the thumb safety, and how getting a proper grip releases the grip safety and once the gun is clear and coming to target, releasing the thumb safety. He seemed to like the idea once he understood it.
Then I told him that the 1911 was a 100+ year old design, but if it was good enough for WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, it was good enough for me.
