Editing M1911 pistol (section)

=== Safety ===
The military mandated a [[grip safety]] and a [[manual safety]].<ref name="Manual" /> A grip safety, [[sear (firearm)|sear]] disconnect, slide stop, half cock position, and manual safety (located on the left rear of the frame) are on all standard M1911A1s.<ref name="Manual" /> 

Several companies have developed a [[safety (firearms)|firing pin block safety]]. Colt's 80 series uses a trigger operated one and several other manufacturers, including Kimber and Smith & Wesson, use a Swartz firing-pin safety, which is operated by the grip safety.<ref>U.S. Patent 2,169,084 (1939)</ref><ref name="Davis">Davis and Raynor(1976), ''Safe Pistols Made Even Safer'', American Rifleman, Jan. 1976</ref>
