CCW'ers who carry weapons with manual safeties: at what point do you disengage your safety?
2 out of the 3 weapons I'm allowed to CCW (state limit ) have manual safeties at the rear of the slide that sweep up to disengage. When I grasp the weapon to remove it from a holster, my thumb can quite naturally disengage the safety while acquiring my normal grip.
Do you disgengage your safety in a similar matter, do you wait until you have your weapon pointed at a potential target, or do you disengage at another point?
Please explain your reasoning if you do it differently than I do. I'd like to know if there's something I've overlooked and/or could do better.
