I don't know if that is still representative of the best thought on the subject, but most serious 1911 users I know (including myself) do not pitch their tents in the Glock camp for very long once they have set their minds to mastering the 1911. Once upon a time, we used to advise Glock users - and HK P7 users - to stick with these models to the exclusion of all others, so as not to introduce too much negative habit transfer into their training routines. Those habits will have to change quite a bit if you are truly committed to mastering Old Slabsides. If you're truly an ardent Glock proponent, then I might suggest that the 1911 is not really the right pistol for you especially since you're already indicating that it isn't well-suited to your existing shooting habits. ![]() Whether you agree with that or not, it is by no means an unusual way of dealing with this "problem."Ī word of caution may be in order though, as you are embracing two handguns with very different methods of employment. Wayne Novak has actually been one of the more prominent figures involved in permanently pinning 1911 grip safeties, effectively de-activating them without otherwise altering the pistol. That said, while I suspect that your problem can still be overcome with training, many 1911 aficianados do feel that the grip safety is a superfilous feature. ![]() ![]() I suppose I can speak to the veracity of this link, given that I'm a Moderator on the 1911 Forum. ![]() Describes how to make the grip safety a bit more sensitive.
