Well, way back in 1938, a Colt employee patented the Swartz Safety firing pin block. This was disengaged by the grip safety, a system used by Kimber today.
Apparently, there was concern about the 1911 going off if dropped, even back then.
I’m sure some duffer wrote into American Rifleman to complain about it, there being no internet then.
