Hey kids!
Help a brutha out here - I like to "try every possibility out" and check a firearm in every potential operating mode.
So I took my unloaded XDm 4.5 in .45 and tested the coolness of the "grip safety" by d!cking around with the trigger. I've only had one handgun in the 26 I've owned that's had a grip safety - a 1911 copy.
So I noticed that if I depressed the trigger without depressing the grip safety, if I later depressed the grip safety the trigger would actuate.
What's your feedback on this? Does the grip safety complete a "circuit" that allows the trigger to actuate? Is it effectively another "trigger" in this regard?
This is purely an academic discussion, not an attack on the design or an attempt to be cute or anything like that.
