This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No worries. I didn't assume anything negative - just wanted to answer. 1911 fudd vs Glock arguments aren't exactly mainstream.

Typically there's no cross-bolt safety on a 1911. Slide lock and beavertail are the main ones. The beavertail is on the back of the handgrip, and it's supposed to be particular - the force is supposed to be at the top for it to disengage the safety.

Most people consider the cross-bolt to be a safety, so they sort of suggested a firearm with no "safety" have the safety removed.
