Agreed. My fears are not usually based in reality for whatever reason.Hey!, I said it was "irrational"
With the S&W Shield and other similar compact "plastic" weapons, there is only the thumb safety. I am a bit squeamish about carrying a round in the chamber that way. Should I be?
An empty chamber just makes it an expensive hammer...I've always felt an empty chamber was an empty gun.
You might not have both hands free to rack one in.
often I fail to disengage the "grip safety" on a 1911 no matter how hard I grip, since my training to grip high
Is the small lever not a safety device?
Try to pull the Glock trigger back without the center safety part.
It won't work.
Does this mean it's a "manual safety"? No. But it's worth noting.
When Ruger first rolled out the SR9 9x19mm about 4 years ago, they recalled the guns & re-engineered the stock trigger to be more like the Glocks & XD models.
Glocks aren't perfect but they are darn close.
