I continuously worry about where guns are pointed -- this is one of the first principles of firearms handling -- never point a gun whether loaded or unloaded at anyone or anything that you don't want to kill. Including yourself.
Note the word 'handling' that's the key word in the whole sentence.
I am continuously aware of where I am pointing the muzzle of a gun-
when it is in my hand.
I don't worry about where holstered guns are pointed any more than I would worry about where guns in a safe are pointed.
How ironic (or hypocritical- depending on your point of view) you are preaching about safe gun handling yet you are condoning the use of Condition 2 carry for 1911's.
In my opinion, Condition 2 carry of a 1911 is a negligent discharge waiting for a place to happen.
A 1911 has 2 manual safeties and- in the case of the Series 80 action- a third automatic safety as well. The grip safety disables the trigger, the thumb safety locks the sear and hammer in place and the automatic safety of the Series 80 action blocks the firing pin until disengaged by the pulling of the trigger. So the whole firing chain is locked down as a whole and as individual parts.
Sounds pretty safe to me.
To get to Condition 2 (hammer down on a live round), you have to disengage ALL of those safeties so you can lower the hammer down- onto the firing pin, after disengaging the automatic safety (if present)- manually.
Tell me how that is safer than Condition 1, again?
