I want to make the thing go bang when I pull the trigger, without worrying about a safety in the heat of a bad situation.

It's all in the training.
I've competed with one 1911 or another for 20 years, and the safety flick on draw and line-up is muscle memory. Done it a jillion times, live and dry.

Competition stress is the next best thing to the "real thing" and I have no doubt that when my mind says "draw" I'll be able to put a round on target without thinking about the safety. It'll just happen.

Glocks, on the other hand, scare the hell out of me.

Different strokes.

Glocks, on the other hand, scare the hell out of me.

I second that. A friend of mine was field testing one. Wasn't sure of the sight so he decided to "walk" a couple of rounds in. First round hit about 10 feet out. Scared the Bejesus out of both of us.

The next month one of the big time magazine writers described a similar event when he was testing one.
