I've decided that I definitely want a manual safety

> OMFG WHAT A DUMB IDEA!! YOU MIGHT FORGET TO DISENGAGE THE SAFETY!! THERE'S NO WAY THAT YOU'LL REMEMBER TO DISENGAGE THE SAFETY WHEN YOU NEED TO DEFEND YOURSELF!! THERE'S NO POSSIBLE WAY!!!

...on my 1911

> well duh. Obviously you need a manual safety. The 1911 platform is over 100 years old. They all have manual safeties. It's never been a problem. What are you even talking about?

omg what if I forget to pull the trigger?? What if I just """forget""" how triggers work?? I need a firearm with no trigger because I cannot possibly remember all the complicated steps!! <---- this is how you sound when you imagine that people will forget to disengage a safety. It's just as dumb as imaging that someone will forget to pull the trigger.

It's a machine. You have to learn the steps to operate it. This normally called a manual of arms. If you have a safety (and you should) then you just learn to disengage it. It's not a big deal. 1911 guys aren't rocket scientists. They're mostly boomer biker gangs. Just try to be as smart as them.
