It will be harder for someone who is sure to take it from him, to shoot him with it.

How is the safety on with the hammer down? Because a regular series 70 1911 can not do that? |

Safety fast system like you can fit to a bhp?
You can't engage a safety on a 1911 if they hammer is down can you? |

Probably the Para mentioned above. Its the only one I have experience with. Yes the safety gets put on as it is double action only.
ETA: at least in my memory from a year or two ago. |

You likely didn't see it right. Either the gun or the condition it was in.

Safety fast system like you can fit to a bhp? You can't engage a safety on a 1911 if they hammer is down can you? Bizarre thinking went into that design. "A 1911 with the safety on and the hammer back is dangerous! Let's take out the regular parts and put in a bunch of new small parts so that you can have the safety on with the hammer down!" "What will happen to your gun when you take the safety off with this silly system installed?" "Taking the safety off will automatically cock the hammer!" "So.........you added a bunch of small parts to get a gun that will be cocked as soon as you take the safety off?" "Yep!" "So.........just like a non-modified 1911 then." "Uh......." ETA: Oh yeah, and with this silliness installed on your pistol, you cannot manually put the safety on---you have to push the hammer forward to put the safety on. https://www.cylinder-slide.com/sfs4.shtml So basically it introduces more parts to possibly fail, changes the way you put the pistol on "safe," and makes it look less dangerous in a holster, I guess. |

I wasn't aware that the safety could be on when the hammer was down.

I open carried my USP45 exactly one time, cocked and locked. Some guy was like "uhh hey, your gun is cocked"
"Um, yeah. That's how it works"

The open carry side was a clever trick. It is a bait gun. BG goes for open carry weapon which is unloaded and in no condition to fire anyway and the trap is sprung. BG is shot full of 9mm holes from concealed weapon on other hip.

It could have been converted to double action.
I saw someone open carrying a co2 revolver hammer cocked last week, so nothing shocks me anymore. |

Came here to post SFS. I have one on a BHP which is very different - you can't pull back the slide without depressing the safety. Kinda cool but I know this could be problematic since I have multiple BHPs!
My LDA has a bobbed hammer which would be noticeable. |

I even pulled mine out, and I can't put the safety on either of them without the hammer cocked. If I ever see the guy again I am going to ask him what it is, because now it's bothering me.

The grizzled old Ranger was dressed in his best uniform and finest Stetson at a retirement barbecue with his 1911 cocked and locked at his side.
A little old lady walked up to him, pointed at his 1911, and said "Sir, do you know your gun is cocked?" "Yes, Ma'am" "But, Isn't that DANGEROUS?" "Yes, Ma'am. It's a gun." "Well, are you expecting trouble?" "No, Ma'am. If I was expecting trouble, I'd have brought my Winchester." "Oh, my!" |
