1911’s in general, 9mm versions specifically

What's the pro/cons to pinning the grip safety for CCW?

I've never had an issue with the safety. Just see some guys doing it on the tube.

Very limited experience here - but I agree with 2stamp. leave it functional

For me and my medium sized on the slender side hands here are my observations with two different pistols.

Govt sized in 45 with standard size grips and a grip safety that disengages at 50% travel I sometimes dont disengage the grip safety when practicing holster draws. This has a firing pin block (series 80-ish?) so I'm not entirely sure how to go about sensitizing the grip safety.

With the Springfield garrison 4.25" 9mm I posted a few pages back, with slim grips, the pistol came with the grip safety needing nearly full travel to disengage, I nearly never had an issue with the grip safety disengaging. This has been sensitized since, I'm all in on sensitized grip safeties now.

So if you're having issues disengaging the grip safety, sensitize it, or get slim grips.

Having bought both a Bul and a Tisas as entry 1911s, I'd personally say that I wouldn't go with Tisas again, but jump straight to the Bul. More expensive, yes, but fit and finish are far better on the Bul I have compared to the Tisas I have. FWIW.

Thanks for the response. I've been looking off and on for a bit, there's just so many options. I probably just need to make a move and jump in.

Cant say as I have ever seen the need for it. Some guys just gotta "fix" stuff though. Then there's the doing it for the views thing..

For those looking for dot’s on 1911’s. A good company is getting setup with Aimpoint to offer slide cutting services for the COA. I’ve had several ask about it, just letting people that it won’t be long.

Wow. Red Dots are out of control. After tax and shipping that’s flirting near $700.
