I am reading the newest addition to my library, "The History of Browning Firearms by David Miller (2006 The Lions Press).
On page 38 Colt Model 1911 and....
in describing the features of this pistol it states;
Quote:
|
there were no less than three safety's: thumb-operated manual, the grip (a John Browning patent), and a magazine safety.

Could someone please explain what is meant by 'Magazine Safety in regards to this 1911?
There is also pictured the 1911 with the rare Tansley loaded chamber indicator and in Googling that,
this link shows what I believe is the pistol picture in the book sold on proxybid!
Thanks,
Greg
