I missed that one. Be realistic, even experienced, professional shooters screw up, and by reducing the trigger pull down so low on a single action pistol you make it far easier for incidental contact during loading/unloading, etc. to cause an AD. Additionally, the 1911 is extremely complicated in practice, and it is very difficult so safely get the trigger down that low without changing the sear angle, etc. and taking shortcuts which will reduce the trigger pull, but will also compromise the trigger group and make it far more likely for something to go very wrong.
