Some may be, but some are not! Depends on what one is looking for.If the 1911 had just faded away like most models, the no round in the chamber argument would have faded away with it.
Modern designs are for the most part better.
I think in most scenarios there is human interaction but the guns I shipped back to Taurus and Sig could have easily been loaded and on a shelf, anything that shakes the shelf and they fall and fire. California, Oklahoma, anywhere they have a tremor. Have been in California with some pretty major shakes. So, if the gun has an inherent safety issue and it can go off if it hits the ground it doesn't have to be human intervention. Then the argument is can a gun fall without human intervention.
Agreed; it's just like half of all the posts that have ever appeared on TGT.That example is not at all germane to this thread ... it is not contributing to the discussion.

Browning designed the 1911 to be carried cocked with a round in the chamber. It's why it has a grip safety along with a manual safety.
The grip saftey was added at the request of the calvary, JMB didn't agree with it being necessary, but he had no problem swallowing his pride if it meant getting a contract
Based on his earlier designs, he likely expected it to be carried Condition Two like a revolver. The thumb and grip safeties came later so cavalry troops wouldn't have to try decocking the pistol on horseback.Browning designed the 1911 to be carried cocked with a round in the chamber.

I never owned a Harley that didn't leak.
I like it but it looks like death waiting to happen!
Yep, them old flatheads did mark their territory, most knuckleheads, some panheads, but the Evos got better.
Talk about thread drift!
Some years ago, one of my 1911's did wear a pair of H-D grips!Harley...the 1911 of motorcycles.
