[QUOTE="Jim Parry, post: 3629654, member: 46894"] I appreciate the various perspectives. I am an older guy (55), so my time fighting bad guys was before the striker fired weapons became prevalent. However, I love secondary safeties. (As gunny explained, “your booger-picker is always ypur primary safety”). I appreciate the secondary safeties of 1911’s and even my S&W Shield 40 (although I may have to have someone rack the slide for me on that pafticular weapon — why is that sprng so dang stiff??). Anyway,. I’ve never had a secondary safety fail despite some pretty intense experiences. That’s not to say they won’t fail; just that I’ve been blessed not to experience a failure of the safety. However, I have experienced some stupid self-induced errors that occurred in the excitement , which we won’t mention, such as failing to rack a round, which caused failures in the excitement of the moment, (BTW, it won’t go “pew” if you don’t put a pew stick in the pipe —personal experience :-), [/QUOTE]
