If is a big word. If the Fox didn't stop to take a pee, he would have caught the Rabbit.
The point of it is. I don't understand the mentality of being skeered of carrying a handgun simply because it has no external safety

Me either "G", keep the thing in a good holster that covers the trigger and have the damn thing ready to bang when you jerk it. I'm no copper, but who in hell can foresee the amount of threat time you will be afforded? no one!

Don't ask me. All I know is guys have had their non-safety CC guns go off in their pockets because of keys and other things. You can inadvertently put your finger on the trigger when you are drawing the gun out of the Holster. If you want to blow your nuts off because your firearm doesn't have a safety, go right ahead. Taurus had a recall on a G1 PT-111 because some of them when off when dropped by accident. I'll stick with a thumb safety and you can do what you feel is right for you.

It would be pretty stupid to do that even with a safety. The rest is training issues. Keep your finger off the trigger when you draw, and don't fiddle with it when the gun is in your hand. One might even surmise those things are common sense, if ya didn't know better.

The solution to your first 2 pints can be summed up with one statement. don't be a fugg in retard. the third point can be countered with. don't buy a pos Taurus

See? We have a solution for everything.

If your pocket carry gun is pocket carried with your car keys, you were probably gonna shoot yourself at some point anyway.

You can inadvertently put your finger on the trigger when you are drawing the gun out of the Holster. Even w/o a holster. That's what PRACTICE is for.. If you want to blow your nuts off because your firearm doesn't have a safety, go right ahead. Taurus had a recall on a G1 PT-111 because some of them when off when dropped by accident. I'll stick with a thumb safety. You can 'inadvertently' drop the safety, hit the trigger too and STILL blow yer nuts off.. I believe there's youtube vids of guys doing that very thing..

Guys like gitem use these threads to spew forth BS that have nothing to do with the topic. No constructive posts, except to nit-pik's other people's views and he does not contribute anything at all. I hope he as given up because he won't get anything from me anymore, except some advice on how to spell. Good luck, Dummy.

I hope he as given up because he won't get anything from me anymore, except some advice on how to spell. Good luck, Dummy. manipulating a safety comes down to training and muscle memory. that same training and muscle memory used to defeat things like retention devices on holsters. I've seen more than a few trained guys who excel on a range compete ly [bleep] bricks when stress in introduced such as force on force training where "bad guys" shoot back at you, to the point they completely forget how to manipulate their holsters you don't think the same thing could happen with a manual safety?
