Holy SMooooooooks!
I so much enjoy my 1911, but I have trained so long with guns without a safety that I'm afraid I might forget to take it off if it was needed!!
Too many times I've forgotten to take the safety off when training.
Oh Well, I still I love it.
Bought mine new 30 years ago - ran about 3 or 4 magazines through it, then put it in the safe where it's sat ever since except for the occasional wipedown. I have a bad habit of doing that, but one of my grandkids will probably appreciate that it's almost new.
Am thinking of a real 1911 like a Springfield Armory Milspec stainless - gotta replace the three that I gave away.

The key word here I think is Natural. I use the thumb safety as a thumb rest. Basically if I tense up I almost without thought push it down. It's in a perfect spot, easy to reach, even with the minimalist GI thumb safeties.
I too tend to sweep the safety weather it's there or not.
