Would it even be concievable to carry a 1911 cocked and unlocked, with a round chambered, and only using the grip safety for safety?

All this fear of carrying "cocked and unlocked" yet that's how folks carry their Glocks every day. And no, a modern 1911 won't discharge if the hammer slips off the sear, that's one of the unintendid benefits of the firing pin safety.
How is this, functionally, different from what was proposed (1911, safety off)? The 1911 won't fire unless you pull the trigger in that condition either...and you have the grip safety, which the Glock does not have.The gun can't fire until the trigger is pulled
I think your decision to carry, as a civilian, a weapon in an unready state is a major mistake. I would never advise a student to carry in that condition as it can most certainly get them dead. How adept are you at racking that slide with one hand? Not the easiest thing in the world...I never carry any gun with a round in the chamber. If you carry a gun long enough, you will find that it CAN be taken away from you. I would rather know that it has an empty chamber for that reason. And its just plain SAFE!

Has anyone noticed that the trigger design of the Glock deflects a snagging object toward the top of the trigger where it can't operate the trigger safety? Where does the design of a 1911 trigger deflect a snagging object to?
