You don't know were the safety is on a 1911

 

Well, there's the grip safety and the thumb safety, so I GUESS you're safe, right? Mine only has the thumb safety, but it's SAO (and not a 1911).

 

Thumb safety is up. (which is on) Grip safety not depressed. It's also not loaded in the pic... Other than for cleaning it stays cocked, locked and 1 in the pipe.

Back to the topic.

 

Added the link to the FAQ

 

yeah, sorry for derailing my own thread.

I was mis-reading the thumb lock position thanks for the FAQ

 

Great write up

 

Nicely done, Chris!

Thanks for this writeup... Amazingly helpful..

 

Wow, what a well-written and superbly-illustrated how-to post.

As someone who has tried to take decent pictures under the dash and only ended up with washed-out or too-dark or bad-angle pictures, I respect the effort it must have taken to get shots that nice.

Sounds like the voice of experience speaking
