[QUOTE="DaveTN, post: 5628424, member: 3052"] You or others around you could live or die over your choice of equipment. Safeties is always a controversy. There is a reason some manufacturers offer their firearms with/without safeties and with/without magazine disconnects. Like anything else, or any other option, whether or not you should have a safety is driven by your application, your needs and how you train. I would never be so presumptuous as to tell someone I don't know whether or not they need a safety, or to make ridiculous statements about safeties. But I will add this for some of those new shooters deciding what to get. Safeties are a back-up in case you make a mistake. Don't ever count on a trigger safety or magazine disconnect to make your handgun safe. I had a thumb safety on a 1911 fail. Also, those that are telling you a handgun can't fire without you pulling the trigger are clueless, don't listen to them. Guns are mechanical devices and any of them can fail. [/QUOTE]
