I side with this majority. The 1911 pistol was designed to be carried with a round in the chamber. So was John M. Browning's last design, the Hi Power single action pistol. Any handgun shooter worth a hoot knows not to insert a finger into the trigger guard unless he intends to fire the weapon. They extend the trigger beyond the sides of the trigger guard and can cause the piece to discharge while holstering.
Safeties are nice, but are never to be relied upon.
Training and an alert mind are everything.
