I have a beautiful little Sig Commander 1911 that's perfect for carrying, but I almost never use it anymore, and if I do it's only when I'm in the neighborhood.
Yep....I have two carry guns that I alternate between..a SIG P-226 and a Springfield Armory .45.

I love the idea of no safety, but I have found (at least with the Springfield) that when carrying "cocked and locked" and the thumb safety on - when I reach for it, my thumb usually goes straight to the safety.

I carried both in the Army and have trained extensively on "thumb placement". Hell, even with the SIGs, I STILL usually reach for the safety from instinct. But I CAN see the problem with folks who don't regularly train. It's fairly easy to attempt to fire - with the safety on.
