1911 Safeties
Occasionally, a photo is taken that succinctly shows exactly how a mechanism works. I try to save these for future reference. This is one such illustration, provided by John Holbrook.

Xavier is a Registered Nurse who specialized in complex wound care. He has practiced for over fourteen years in his community. He often provided nursing service in areas where law enforcement refused to enter without back-up. Xavier now works in surgery. Xavier has been an avid shooter for over 30 years. He strongly supports the 2nd Amendment, opposes gun control of any sort, and carries a weapon 24 hours a day. Xavier is known on various internet gun forums as XavierBreath. He is married with three children, and is moderated by an apathetic one eyed cat, a goofy Golden Retriever, and a stalwart German Shepherd Dog. One day, he hopes to be deserving of them all.

Great picture. Also shows just how many things would have to fail to have a true "accidental discharge." I sorta wish it animated like STI's screensaver, though:

Beautiful set of illustrations. All very simple and interlocking. JMB really was a bloody genius.
I prefer just a grip safety myself. I just don't want to fumble around in the dark with trying to release a safety switch. I carry a Springfield XD-40 by the way. I don't know what you think about these but I can tell you that's been reliable and accurate as hell. Check out my blog please. I'll be adding a link to your blog on my blog. Thanks.
Great pics. Really helps me to understand how things work, especially seeing as how I'm not terribly mechanical.
More, please, if possible.
Okay, now THAT's cool. I just learned something -- I never understood what the "sear" was for!
That's quite helpful! I could have used that last a bit ago when I was discovering that I needed to dremel my grip safety for my new trigger. :)
John Holbrook is one of my favorite CSP-forum guys. He has the best guns and gun-pictures.
