Re: Handgun Concealed Carry, External Saftey or No External Saftey?
 

I don't own a handgun with a safety. I own 3 and they are all for one thing SELF DEFENSE. If I pull my gun, its because a BG has one pointed at me or mine, I use practice, know my weapons, and you safe handling techniques. If you don't practice the safe handling of a firearm you shouldn't carry a weapon. It is a very responsible thing to carry a firearm.

keep your booger picker off of the go switch and you will be fine. saftey is between the ears. i carry a glock 17 with one in the hole with the 3.5 trigger.

Good Video that relates to this discussion...

Well, it is his handgun... so I suppose he can do whatever he wants to his own gun.

As for guns "just going off" ... I haven't ever had one of those. The accidental discharges that make the headlines the most are often in the confines of the toilet stall at public restrooms.

Even though I have trained and shot the 1911 for 35 years, on atleast 2 or 3 training occasions recently, found myself accidentally flipping up the safety when stress takes over. I have since started carrying a Sig 229 within the past year.

Maybe the safety issue on the 1911 is because I am shooting more and different guns than ever before. I hadn't ever encountered this problem before.

I don't believe in accidental discharges... negligent discharges on the other hand, unfortunately happen way to often.

Glocks make great kabooms....

This is always a great Glock video.....I'm the only one in this room I know of professional enough to carry this gun....BOOM.....:lol88::lol88:

Guy shoots himself in the leg at point blank range...walks around & then walks off camera...what's that say for the 40 short and weak....:spit::spit:

everybody has great points on here.
i personally do not gun on a daily basis because i could lose my job. but when i do its a 1911 with loaded with safety own. because thats how i have been trained.

but i also know that all safeties are a mechanical device and can fail. I have seen them fail. like was said above there is nothing better than the safety that is between the ears(of a properly trained and practiced indvidual) all others are like a mechanical safety they can and will fail often

BOBBY I've haven't forgot that you need a thumb safety on your GLOCK:w2::w2: Here is the website Ten-Ring Precision, Inc.
