I'm still up in the air if this really is a bad tendency, because I do still carry the 1911 occasionally?

If you were involved in a SD situation and your slide didn't lock back you would be inclined to keep pulling the trigger.....shooting nothing. I'm not advocating we should depend on mechanical perfection, but being "between" two sets of skills can get you killed. I holster my 1911, safety gets clicked off, and I am good to go. I will not worry about my thumb if I need to stay alive.
