does anyone do this?

I carry a Glock 23 with a full mag and one in the pipe.

I have several pistols, of which I might carry. IF I am packing any of them, the are all carried with one in the pipe.

When packing the Taurus PT92AFS, the hammer is down and the safety is on.

When packing my EAA Witness 10mm, the hammer is cocked and the safety is on.

When packing my Walther P38 (post WWII production) the hammer is down and the safety is off.

FYI, 2 to 3 centimeters is a bit over an inch. That said, what exactly does "2-3 cm of error" mean? That unless you pull the trigger 2-3cm it won't discharge? Stay 2-3cm away from children's fingers, hooks, and corners? Your post doesn't seem to make much sense.

I agree with Bill.

It boils down to one of the bigger safety rules.

Keep your booger hook off the bang switch.

I had to use, it's too funny and true not to.

2-3CM is a LOT of room for error honestly. If it makes you feel better, use the thumb safety, but I wouldn't be too worried about it w/ a 1911. My Taurus doesn't have a grip safety, so I use the thumb safety.

Heck, a typical glock doesn't have anything more than an extra part to their trigger for a safety, and they're just fine. (Just not my preference -- I just don't like how they shoot).
