Tough question. Someone holding a SA 1911 on a BG has less of a margin of error then a Sig P229 12lb DA trigger pull, but the fact is it's still violating safety because of the muzzle, finger on the trigger... I know of one case in Hampton NH where a Police Officer blew off the suspects mandible while covering him with a 1911 and having an unintentional discharge. There were charges filed, in part because he wasn't using dept. issued ammo.
