Correct me if I'm wrong - these are not "drop safe", right? I seem to recall a Hickok45 video where he fires one by tapping the hammer spur with a 2x2.
If a feller wanted a 45acp revolver similar to this but with modern safety measures, what would he buy? The reissue?

Any post WWII 45 ACP will have the sliding bar hammer block safety starting with the 1950 Military 45 (became the Model 22) and 1950 Target 45 (became the Model 26). Both have the slender barrel like the 1917. They also have the speed action, short cocking action improvement.
The Classic series reissues would as well.
