It does indicate the manual safety isn't slowing down those competitors that are using it.
And like I said to @Old Dog - this is a straw man argument made by folks who are seeking (inapplicable) evidence to support their belief a manual safety model is safer.
Folks like yourself and old dog point at the fact people can be fast with a manual safety as evidence there is no speed penalty for carrying it. Conveniently ignoring those statistics which show regular mis-operation of manual safeties (like old dog’s own self contradicting comments above where he says there is no evidence people experience mis-operations, then immediately retorts that there ARE evidence of mis-operations in the hands of criminals which save officers lives with some documented regularity).
Proving a manual safety model can be deployed quickly isn’f evidence supporting the claim a manual safety model is actually safer. And as mentioned above, often the very evidence used is actually self-damning, as it proves manual safeties are more dangerous to be carried.
Can’t have it both ways, and neither case proves the belief they’re actually more safe and should be favored.
