I'm talking about Condition One, loaded chamber, cocked hammer, thumb safety on.

I think the question is whether you can activate the thumb safety and still have it cocked. If so, then it would be less safe than carrying a 1911 in condition one since there is no grip safety.

It would be helpful to know the SA and DA trigger pull weights. If the SA is close to Glock's 5.5 pounds, that might change the answer on relative safety.

The safety doubles as a decocker. ( one of the videos stated it was so) Typically with such gun, the hammer can't be cocked while in safe mode.

That is not the case with my Taurus 809. You can cock the hammer and leave the safety on. The safety can be activated while the hammer is dropped in DA mode as well.

on this particular one, it can be carried cocked and locked. But I would carry decocked and safety off. Like I do my Sig

This is how I may carry this as well (decocked, chambered, safety off), and one reason my interest is piqued...
