Actually the first design the predates the 1911 had a grip safety and no thumb safety. The thumb safety was added at the request of the US Govt. I will post a link in a few.

When did you start shooting open? I started in 1988 when there was only one division Was 40 your first caliber in open? Started with a 9mm, then a 45 to a 38 Super and the 40 S&W right about the time the cartridge was announce. Had a little inside info. Why did you choose 40? Initially cause I could not get my gun to run in 10mm reliably and I had know about the Centimeter, but the commercial 40 s&w made so much more sense What make is your gun? I initially started with a Colt Delta Elite and then upgraded the frame to a Caspian Hi-Cap Who built it? With the exception of the barrel installation which, was done by Bar-Sto everything else was pretty much installed by myself. What barrel length, comp and optic are you using? It was 5", started with a Two Port Plaxco comp then had a 3 port wide front side baffles installed by a Gunsmith friend T Face in CA when I was living there. Started with a Tasco, then a Holosight and then a C-More Do you run a big stick, and what capacity are you getting? Big stick gets 25 rds What have you settled on for a load? Used HS-6/WW540 pushing a Nosler 135gr JHP Last match shot had a PF of 186 and won my class What's your open classification? B Where do you live? VA I retired this open gun back in 2004 after shooting her for 12 years on the hi-cap frame, still the best open gun I ever had. Going to 9Major in 2004 has done nothing to improve my performance. I am and have been contemplating building another .40 Open. Alan
