My department will not allow the carrying of a single action 1911 as a primary duty weapon. They say the whole "locked and ****** method of carry is unsafe, therfore not permitted by most police depts nationwide. With how long the 1911 has been in use by military, police, and civilians, I am surprised some would consider the guns unsafe. Why would so many folks carry the damn things if there were so many accidents with them. My father is a veteran, and swore by his 1911 during the war. My dept has no problem with the glocks and berettas, and I guess I see why, but I love the classic 45 as a duty weapon. Anyone know of a situation where carrying a 1911 locked and ****** was unsafe?
