I have an Armalite 24 (a CZ 75 clone) and that weapon has a safety that you swipe down with your thumb to disengage the safety and swipe up to engage the safety. I was looking at that Sarsmilaz Kilnic 2000, which is pretty much the same weapon that Armalite imorted, but the safety works the opposite way - up to disengage the safety, down to engage the safety.
It looks like the the internal mechanism is likely the same - it looks like the Armalite safety’s pivot is to rear, and the Kilnic pivots at the front.
Seeing that made me wonder if people who have both kinds of safety, is it confusing to remember which way to swipe to disengage the safety?
I thing the 1911 safety is down to disengage the safety (I think it pivots at the rear) and that Beretta’s are the opposite.
I would think that disengaging the safety would be muscle memory, and it would be confusing, but the Armalite is the one pistol I own.
Is having different motions for different guns confusing?
