Hi,
Posting this after reading a similar question elsewhere that didn't yet have a response, hopefully someone here knows the answer as it's a little worrying.
I was reading someone picked up a brand new 1911 and after getting it home found that when the thumb safety catch was engaged, it increased the amount of weight needed to pull the trigger, but with some force would still fire.
Pistol was taken back to the gun store and buyer was told that's the way they work, and that they only increase the force required to pull the trigger.
Seriously?
I was looking to move into pistols but that sounds dodgy as if pistol safety's are supposed to work like this...
