I was just looking over my Kimber 1911, It has a FLGR but if the muzzle were to impact the ground the FLGR still gives the slide enough room to move back and engage the Hammer Stop Safety to eliminate any kind of bullet being fired from the chamber automatically. Now if your 1911 does not have a Hammer Stop Safety then that would be a different story and an accidental fire could occur.
