Don't crucify me here if this is a dumb question. I'm new to carrying handguns.
Is it safe to carry my Ruger P94 with the safety off? I have a Kel-Tec P11 whose only safety feature is a DAO 8lb trigger and the hammer is recessed into the gun to keep if from getting snagged. My Ruger has a heavy DA trigger pull (I'd say about 8 lbs) but does not have the hammer recessed.
The reason I ask is that I fear that in a self-defense situation in which I have to use my gun very quickly, I may forget to disengage the safety, and lose precious seconds trying to get it flipped. That's why I like my P11. I don't have to worry about remembering.
Any thoughts?
