A good holster is key. Like the VM2 Jake mentioned, most of the better ones are molded to keep or even wedge the safety up or "on". A thumb safety can be adjusted to be harder to flip on and off by a gunsmith or someone that knows what they are doing if needed, but generally it is not an issue in my opinion.
1911 safety
G
i have read in Nov/Dec 2010 "American Handgunner" magazine that the single side thumb safety can be accidentally knocked off safety. i have questions.

1. What exactly does that side safety disengage/block/ stop etc.?
2. How does one accidentally knock this off?
3. Is this even a real issue, or is it just something to deter 1911 purchases?
4. How does that safety work? (Do you push it up to fire, or down to fire?)
5. How can this issue be nullified?
