    It’s a 1911…it has two external safeties at least. Glock fans like to say they’re monsters that shoot you in the leg for fun.

    I feel like our downvoted homie was making a joke in line with the copypasta.

        No worries. I didn’t assume anything negative - just wanted to answer. 1911 fudd vs Glock arguments aren’t exactly mainstream.

        Typically there’s no cross-bolt safety on a 1911. Slide lock and beavertail are the main ones. The beavertail is on the back of the handgrip, and it’s supposed to be particular - the force is supposed to be at the top for it to disengage the safety.

        Most people consider the cross-bolt to be a safety, so they sort of suggested a firearm with no “safety” have the safety removed.
