New on their website, all SA 1911s will have a built in lock along with a chamber load indicator. The chamber load indicator is just like S&W's design- a hole drilled into the chamber. Could there have been an under the table deal like S&W's? I don't like Integral locks since locked guns need to be obviously locked. That means in a safe or with a cable lock going through the action. I also like unlocked guns to be clearly unlocked. Now you have to cock the hammer and drop it to be sure you unlocked the gun. I wonder how many NDs this will create.
With the money SA spent on this, they probably could have given a safety class to all new SA 1911 owners.
