I am curious as to how many of our members here believe in manual safeties on their auto pistols, and why. I know that we have a lot of Glock fans, who must not, and then there are the cocked and locked people. I prefer a double action, and a thumb safety.
I always felt more comfortable with some form of safety. (Yes, I do know the most important safety is between my ears) I believe that it doesn't really slow me down any, and I've been disengaging the tiny little button safety off of my 870 in time to shoot flying doves my whole life.
I also believe that it can buy you some time, in case somebody wrestles your defensive gun from you, while they try to figure out how to shoot you, you can do something. S&W has documented this lots of times.
And finally I just must be some kind of wimp or something, because carrying a glock, or a 1911 in my pants always kind of scared me. Must be psycological.
Just curious as to your opinions. Thanks.
