I'm with you Steve M. Not only am I afraid that I am going to wake in a stupor and pull that light trigger too fast, but in condition two I fear that I would not be able to get to the hammer to cock it. I also fear a little slip someday called an ND. The 1911, IMHO, is a professional piece of equipment, and I have too many neighbors through thin walls that could be hit.
My solution? around the house I tote my HK USP .45, with the 1911-style thumb safety on, and the hammer down for a DA first shot. At least then it takes a little more exertion to fire the first round, but it is not really slower. I get the same overall manual of arms of the 1911 so I am not confused, but it is a little safer.
JMHO
