pocket pistols w/ safety

[BigMikey76]

It's not a matter of remembering.
It would be like saying, are you going to remember to draw? Are you going to remember to aim? To pull the trigger?
I "disengage" imaginary safeties on guns that don't have them.

You're absolutely right. One of my shooting buddies has it so ingrained in his actions that he sweeps his GP 100. To me, the issue is not one of forgetting to do it, but of missing when I do. I don't care how many times you have done it or how ingrained a habit it is, there is always a chance that your sweep is going to fail to disengage the safety, especially if it is one of the smaller and harder to hit safeties we are seeing on a lot of carry guns these days. To me, it's just not worth taking the chance.
