Why not, I don’t use the safety anyway,,, lol

 

Always carry it in a holster and a safety is a liability that could cost you your life.

 

DA/SA is my choice.

 

Sig, Smith, Ruger, HK, and Kimber are what I own and carry. None have a manual safety. My booger hook is my safety.

 

You ll wish it didn’t have that safety when your life depends on it and it’s engaged

 

 

You'll be fine, but definitely practice your draw with a snap cap, or even better a laser trainer.

 

👉 is my safety. No sense in wasting a half a second.

 

It's 2024, get a Glock!

 

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit

 

My Ruger LC9S Pro doesn't have a safety. And I knew it didn't before I bought it.

 

My SD9VE is a striker-fired 9mm with a 8# trigger pull. It doesn't need a trigger safety. It does have a "drop" safety. The last thing I want to do in a panic situation, is fumble with a tiny safety button.

 

Carried a 331-2 for 2 decades.

No safety.

No problem.

 

Glock 9mm in summer.

.357 wheel gun in winter.

No safeties, no problems.

 

That’s the only type to carry. G43x or g19.

 

If you really need 13 or more shots in a. CCW piece - you might consider trying to piss off less people......

Jest a thought....

 

What is the worse thing to have to do in a gunfight? Having to stop firing and reload.

 

Buy a quality holster no need fir the safety if your going to cheap out on your holster go get a gin with a safety.

 

OP, what do you think the (regular safety as you call it) going to prevent? Hundreds of thousands of pistols without a thumb safety are carried everyday without an accidental discharge.

 

Accidentally discharge. After reading all the posts, I guess my problem is that I never carried in a holster. I always just had it in my pocket. I’m going to have to get a quality holster and carry it in the holster.

 

Glock introduced a new phrase to the pistol shooting world, "safe action trigger" soon accompanied by another phrase - "Glock Leg."

This is a photo of me at a recent CC class demonstrating the functioning of a Hi-Power manual safety :

and let me tell you - that was a real kick-ass group of guys

9mm Hi-Power

 

That's because those shooters were old HI-POWER shooters and were to stupid to keep their finger off the trigger!😁

 

Get yourself something like this for pocket carry. It goes nicely in the back pocket of jeans or the cargo pocket of shorts which I wear more often than not.

My bros own lots of handguns. I win most our "shoot outs" with his 40. I like it !

Who are they ? I'm curious. Never get enough of war heroes.

 

No. I guess I'm old fashioned. Sometimes I just carry in a front pocket. I wouldn't dream of carrying a semi-automatic pistol without a thumb safety in my pocket. To me, that trigger blade thing is just not enough and I've never been able to figure out how it could even be classified as a "safety". This has been debated on forums forever and for some strange reason followers of the Glock type trigger safeties seem radically defensive about it. The usual argument for these non-safety type pistols is that taking time to flick off a thumb safety could cost you your life. Personally, I'd rather take that risk other than risk shooting off one of my balls.

 

I carry a sig p245. No safety. Unholster, pull trigger, boom. Dont want to think about safetys in the time it takes something to turn south in a hurry

 

Is this a troll thread or you serious?

He's telling them what not to do. Can't you understand Russian ?

Why would you not dis-engage the safety if your life depended on it.

If you're driving and a kid runs in front of your car do you think about braking - I don't, I'd just do it.

Think about the safety ? Do you think about pulling the trigger or do you just do it ? Speaking for myself I don't think about taking the safety off and I don't think about pulling the trigger - I just do it and it comes from carrying and shooting Hi-Powers for 24 years and five years of I.D.P.A. competition.

No sense in wasting a half a second.

No wasted time at all. I can get my HP out of the holster and the safety is off long before my sight picture is acquired and I guarantee as fast if not faster than you can draw whatever pistol you shoot.

Because those that maybe don’t train enough or had those real life experiences will possibly get very nervous under the pressure and forget to do that. Thus costing them their life. That’s why.

 

For those concerned about “remembering” to operate a safety on a pistol, methinks you are not ready to carry in public.

Apologies in advance to those who are about to be butt hurt.
