You're saying that the lever which would be the thumb safety on a Colt is actually a take-down lever? Interesting... Does the slide release still function as a take-down of sorts by retaining the barrel link as on a Colt?
Thanks, TJ. The Radom is more of a departure from the 1911 than I realized! Stu |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: The Random HAS no single action safety. The top lever is a decocker lever and the second one below that is a takedown lever. It DOES have a grip safety. The pistol was designed to be drawn and cocked with one hand while riding a horse and meant to be cocked by using the leg to leverage the hammer back. It is my favorite WWII pistol.
