That is a fairly broad assertion - weapons vary greatly. I carry my SR9c with the safety on. I am very well practiced at sweeping the safety after the draw but during the low presentation.jamisjockey wrote:FWIW, IMHO, carrying a gun that has a manual safety in condition 0 is irresponsible.
However, I also currently carry a borrowed P64 (as I am currently replacing my small carry). This thing is DA/SA and has like a 20 lb trigger pull in DA. The safety is not 1911 style sweep with the thumb, but rather is 'Beretta' style push forward on the slide. It is not natural to me at all. I feel extremely comfortable carrying this with the safety off and feel it would be irresponsible to do otherwise.
