I carry kahrs , no external saftey , nothing to fiddle with , chamber and ready to go.
When reality doesn't match your expectations your OODA Loop resets and you will fall behind your adversary.
On a side note, the aunt expressed that she wanted to go shooting sometime. Hopefully, I will be able to use that opportunity as an educational one.
The only safety I use on all my guns is my right index finger.
That is why I'm a one switch = bang CCWer. I understand that training oneself to respond correctly is critical, but if I can remove a non value-added a step, why would I not?
I would agree, I would make the exception for a CZ DA/SA where the gun can be carried hammer down for a DA first shot and in this condition the safety can not be engaged. I've conditioned myself to sweep the safety on my draw, so even if I do carry my CZs DA I invaribly sweep over it.If the pistol is equipped with a manual safety - use it. This requires you to always disengage it when you've made the decision to shoot. It is a positive action that ensures the pistol is ready to fire when you press the trigger.
I never carry a semi-auto with the safety on, that can get you killed fast.
With a slide mounted safety I recommend condition 2 which chambered, hammer down and safety off.
