Key feature of the Fast Safety system.
- FAST SAFETY allows the 1911 to be carried Condition 1, but in a Hammer Forward state. When the Manual Safety (termed the “Cocking Lever”) is swiped off, the hammer simultaneously springs to the cocked/ready to fire position by work of a Spring. To return the 1911 to “Safe Condition”, the hammer is pushed forward manually. When pushed fully forward the ambidextrous safety “cams up” automatically by work of a spring. Fast Safety is the 21st Century Operating System for the 1911.
- Because of the forward “carry” position of the no-snag hammer, the 1911 can be carried Condition 1 and eliminate common “snagging” in clothing of a cocked 1911 hammer.
- Most comfortable for Carry with no cocked hammer to dig into your side-fat when carried IWB on the hip. Full appreciation of the comfort of the 1911’s thin profile.
- Best Solution for More Sure and Fast One Handed Deployment of the 1911.
- Enables “Hammer Forward Carry”, (like a DA/SA handgun), with the superior benefit of every shot being the same Single Action Trigger Pull.
- Adds Ambidextrous Safety to 1911s with one-sided safety.
- Adds a “Drop Safety” to the 1911 (that doesn’t degrade trigger pull!)
- Mechanically, the safest Condition 1 Carry Set-Up for the 1911. In addition to adding a Drop Safety, when hammer is manually moved forward, ambidextrous Safety “cams up” to the “On Safe” position, activating Four safeties: Trigger is disabled, Slide is locked, Hammer is locked, and Firing Pin is Blocked.
- Persons who miss-out on the benefits of 1911 Carry because they don’t like “Cocked and Locked” Carry, for any reason, can usually embrace Condition 1 FAST SAFETY Hammer Forward Carry.
- The Fast Safety System Replaces Two Springs in a 1911: Hammer (Main) Spring and Plunger Spring,and adds a new “Return Spring” to the Hammer Assembly that is the cause of the Hammer’s Automatic Cocking Action when the Safety is swiped off.
- Seeing the Hammer Forward provides visual confirmation that the 1911 is “on safe”. Eliminates all “THAT HAMMER IS COCKED!” concerns.
- Transition to the Fast Safety is seamless for Cocked and Locked carriers of the 1911.
- Safe Condition 1 Carry, easily embraced by 1911 owners currently using a “Condition 2 or Condition 3 Carry. (Also safer because of the “no-snag” hammer.)
- MAY buy you a few extra seconds to access your Back-Up Weapon if an attempted Gun Grab is successful and your 1911 ends up in a bad-guys hand. The SFS System is different and may cause momentary confusion for an attacker who gains control or your 1911. In Fast Safety Condition 1, the Hammer is Locked and cannot be manually cocked. The Slide is Locked and cannot be racked. When the Safety is disengaged, it causes the hammer to spring rearward – again, different, and may cause momentary confusion for an attacker in a Gun Grab. At a minimum, in a “Gun Grab” situation, your 1911 is more difficult for an attacker to deploy than any “non-manual-safety” semi-auto pistol. Fast Safety for 1911 has Tactical Safety Advantages over ANY other operating system on any handgun.
- If shooter tends to “ride the manual safety” with shooting thumb during shooting, nothing changes. But, since the Manual Safety cannot be “cammed up” with the thumb (only by manually pushing forward the hammer), Fast Safety eliminates the chance of the thumb riding up under the safety and inadvertently engaging the safety.
