[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 1415413, member: 11766"] Depends.... If I have a choice in what I carry...I will train with it until it becomes second nature to operate safely. Back in the dark ages, we had some issued SW 39-2's. I carried mine "off safe" and mechanically there is no difference from a revolver. Of course... if you carry that same pistol "on safe" and that gun is taken... maybe that little lever buys you enough time to get away or get to a bug. 1911's... the slide safety was added as a requirement of the US Army (driven by the Cav... who felt is was needed for the safety of mounted users). Browning felt the grip safety was enough. Between the wars... rumor has it that lot's of Texas Rangers and other pistoleros would bind the grip safety with rawhide or pin it and rely on the slide safety only. Forward to 2011... lot's of choices. Get what you like, learn it and live with it. [/QUOTE]
