After
checking several times to verify the gun is absolutely empty, engage the safety. The
safety prevents the gun from firing and locks the slide which make disassembly easier.
When John Browning designed the original 45 automatic, the hammer was internal and not
visible. The U.S. army however insisted on an external hammer. The safety device is
a very ergonomic design as one can easily tell when it is engaged as it actually locks
into the slide. On many modern guns white and red dots are not as easily understood and
the colors can be obscured with dirt in the field or with age.
