Used 'em. don't like 'em. won't own one. Forward is always "go".
I have no problem using tang, side lever safeties, thumb-cockers (my '94, & ML.) or the R to L push button ones (Win 1200). Or "backwards" ones, but I bet a left-hand shooter would have a time with that 1200.....
. I've no problem going from one safety style to another on my familiarized guns (the key). I don't even hav to think of it anymore.
I really, really hate "backwards" safeties. I just do. It's counter-intuitive to me, and why have a gun with a "safety" you don't like, and might make a muscle-memory mistake with.
Sue me.
Muscle memory has it's place - why fook with the odds, but YMMV, especially if that fooked up safety is on the only gun you own and carry frequently.
Plus, with some exceptions, I don't carry hot unless shooting is imminent, just because I don't trust safeties of any sort very much. Having a backwards one is just one more thing on the negative side.
