Mechanic,

Glad to hear your dad was practicing the 1st Rule of Gun Safety (muzzle always pointed in a safe direction) when he had his slip and no one was hurt.   Sometimes thumbs slip, sometimes mechanical safeties fail... that is why the No.1 Rule is the most important to follow.

Shootall,

Funny isn't it that the 1911 design with both a grip safety and thumb safety is considered by some to be more dangerous than say a GLOCK,  S&W M&P and many others which can have neither depending on the model.YEP!, My commets are after those safetys are off. And someone not well praticed with a 1911 can be more dangerous than if they had one of the plastic wonder guns with the crappy trigers but again that is the greatness of the 1911 in use .
If ya can see it ya can hit it !

  Yep; Dad was "doing it right", so even when it did go off..the first rule prevented any tragedy..
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)
