I carried a 1911 IWB for years, and regardless of holster make or type, I would find the safety off at the end of the day on a pretty regular basis. 99% of my guns were stock Colts, with the standard safety too.

If you think about it, its really a non issue if its in a holster. Generally the grip safeties work (Id check yours anyway, Ive had a number that didnt, including my last Kimber), which adds another level of safety, and the trigger is covered by the holster anyway.
