Thanks for the elaboration, RickB - I understand your concerns better now. My only real answer is that the comparison to 1911s is overstated. I don't honestly think it was meant to be a "miniature 1911" like people describe it, and it in fact is not. It is a SA only pistol meant to be carried cocked and locked, but the comparison largely ends there, as you have aptly pointed out. I find the safety to be pretty intuitive in clicking down as I take my grip, but I am not a dedicated 1911 guy, so my initial bias is different than yours. My affection for my little Sigs is undiminished, but your observations make sense from your somewhat different perspective. Both points of view should be considered by someone considering a purchase.
