Hey, QKShooter, just a note to let you know that you are right on with your 1911 safety checks. I am a former Firearms Instructor myself and just yesterday was in the process of pondering the purchase of one of the new Taurus 1911s, and applied all my usual safety checks, just exactly as you decribed. As an aside, my wife and I are just this month retiring and I thought to obtain one really good pistol to keep for carry, and I really liked the looks and features of the Taurus. Until I performed my standard safety drill, that is. All went well until I performed the thumb safety check. Thumb safety on and pull trigger: OK. Release trigger, then release thumb safety: Hammer fell to half-cock! This was on a brand-new in the box store model. Well, long story short, just like you, a brand-new SIG P220 Carry model now resides in my CCW holster. A lot more money, but a lot more confidence. Thanks for listening and God bless you and yours.
