I see I've been dragged into this again.

1. I have nothing against striker fired pistols. My EDC is a Ruger LCP which is DAO with no safety, and I carry chambered. I'm comfortable with this, because the long strong pull reduces the odds of accidentally pulling the trigger. And yes, it is holstered with the trigger covered.

2. I have a lot of experience with the govt. 1911, and I know all the safeties. Mine is a match condition with a hair trigger, and when cocked and chambered, the only safety when I grip it, is the thumb safety. IMO, it's not unusual for that to get tripped inadvertently (again, MO). so I'm just not comfortable with it for EDC.

Bottom line, somebody said it. If you train with it, and are comfortable with it, go ahead. I've made my choice.

I don't carry my gov model, because it's too dangerous cocked and locked, with a round in the chamber. And what would be the point if it was not. So I got a PX4 Storm .45, which I can de-cock to DAO.

I know a little off-topic, but you might want to rethink your EDC.
