[QUOTE="AguaFriaRanger, post: 3629864, member: 48527"] If my gun comes out I am shooting. The only exception to this is if the bad guy manages to drop his weapon/surrender before I get that first round off. And until I feel that someone needs some extra holes in their chest to get their mind right the pistol stays in the holster. A pistol is not a tool of intimidation for good guys. If you have time to wave it around like you're Jessie James and deliver a snarky one-liner you have time to leave, and you should. As for external safety... Not needed if the weapon has an internal safety. I wouldn't carry a weapon that didn't have internal/trigger safeties condition zero, but as mentioned earlier in this thread, that is a point of failure so I only carry pistols that do have trigger/internal safeties so I can carry condition zero.
