[QUOTE="grill-n-man2, post: 5628228, member: 23424"] Safety or not as for gun safety it is a mechanically irrelevant feature. Why? Safety or no safety a firearm, by design, will not fire without a pull of the trigger. For years I’ve heard this safety is a must to be safe. Truth is a safety is a mechanical means to prevent firing when the person handling the firearm laps in concentration, for what ever reason, and fires the the firearm unintentionally. By design, firearms will not fire without pulling the trigger. Argue all you want to about toggles, clothing, wore out floppy holster, etc causing guns to go off but in reality it’s the person’s fault. One should be cautious using a manual safety as a crutch for gun safety 101 - keep that booger hook off the trigger until ready to fire. But hey if it’s your thing no biggie go with it. I got em both ways but I’ve never had one fire without me pulling the trigger on purpose or accidentally. I will say again, using a manual safety as a crutch for a lapse in gun safety may not be the best idea [/QUOTE]
