Safety On or Off? - Page 7

This is why we can't have nice things.

Always carry with the safety on, in moments of panic and the lose of concentration a firearm without a safety can become your worst enemy especially with a bobble and drop with a grasp to regrip and pulling the trigger ending with a AD.

I do not currently own any guns with external safeties. However, i use to and always carried with the safety off. Just one less thing to think about when the S%#T hits the fan.

I remember the proposed ring/wrist safety. You know, that without a matching rf chip the gun would be inoperable?

Woohoo. I bet that would ruffle some feathers.

I can hear threads slamming closed at the mere thought.

I remember seeing something about that. Not a terrible idea for LEOs. No way a perp could use your weapon against you.

For me - terrible idea. I'm not putting on a ring or something in a moment of panic. Also can't imagine how it works in a multi-gun, multi-adult household.

BTW: all factory-installed safeties on (XD40 and a revolver

)

This reminds me of the "thumb print activated" DE in the movie "Shoot 'em Up".

Clark Howard did a blurb/bit story (couple nights ago) acknowledging at least one instince of a guy getting his finger lopped of by bad guys stealing his fancy car. The car might have been a benz, anyway that was secured by the car owners finger print.

Apparently it worked.

i never carried my beretta on safe and it drove my squad leader absolutely nuts. rather than bothering w/ a safety ive practiced cocking the hammer on the way to the target. i carry a h&k w/ no safety now so the point is moot.

My Ky-Tac BraveHeart for my S&W 3914 won't allow holstering the gun with the safety "on," which is exactly the way I want it (i.e. safety should be "off" when holstered).
