Thanks in advance

Not possible with a 1911/A1.

To further elaborate on Jim V's post, if the hammer is down on a 1911A1, it's impossible to engage the thumb safety.
 
Actually on a 1911, hammer down, round in the pipe, and safety on would be called the new Para-Ordnance LDA! :)
 
Condition 4 - Magazine out, no round in chamber.

Condition 5 - Gun field stripped.

Condition 6 - Pile 'O parts in a box.

Condition 7 - Gun missing altogether.
 
Round in chamber, hammer down, safety off - buy lots of insurance, carry First Aid kit, stand by to stand by ...
