IO heard a cat say once when you holster or un holster a 1911 you should grip it so you don't depress the grip safety, lessing the chance of shooting your self. To me that seems paranoid, you keep your finger off teh trigger you won't shoot your self

Its hard to grab it properly without depressing the grip safety. To me, you need a firm grip on your handgun while drawing it.

Yup sounds paranoid to me, when I holster or unholster I want a strong grip, and the best safety is your brain

[Spiffums]

What about the Hi Powers? Same thing san's grip safety.

I call hog wash!

And juggling the gun to get a proper grip during the draw is "safer"? Check please.

That's what I'm talkin about, Brian

[Snaps]

Not sure how you'd do that and really have a grip that let you control the gun.

Doesn't sound paranoid....sounds uneducated in the way of the 1911.

You are so right my friend

[ca survivor]

some people say not to squeeze de decocker on the P-7 until ready to fire, how you grip it then? with two fingers? AND if they take the gun from you the BG won't know how to use it......some people are full of........

I like this simple, 3-step process:

1) Use a firm grip for better control of the pistol.
2) Keep finger off trigger.
3) Point barrel somewhere other than "at self."
