If you want a thumb safety, fine. I have never had a problem due to the lack of a thumb safety. In fact, the external safety was what the US Calvary needed so the pistol could be carried cocked. The grip safety did this but the manual thumb safety was needed because of the inexperience of a lot of Officers, who did not receive sufficient training.
Are safeties good? Of course they are, especially for the inexperienced gun owner or those who have become so use to them, they cannot function safely without that crutch. I have nothing against manual safeties, especially when these pistols do not have internal safeties such as what Gaston Glock developed for the perfect pistol. Though we know the perfect pistol would hit the intended target everytime, but that is something where the level of operator skill is the factor. The same skill that requires the shooter to keep his bugger hook off the trigger until ready to shoot. Just my truthful biased opinion. :tiphat:

P.S. I do own pistols with external safeties, I just don't carry them on purpose. :biggrinjester: I would carry them if I felt the urge to dress like a child or wear a skirt. :biggrinjester: Just Kidding .......... NOT ............. No really, I was kidding ........... I think. :cool:

Well, there you go, the reason for horse races as my Dad would have said. The four big rules are much more important than design features of any gun.

On the other hand, if I carried a revolver, I wouldn't carry it cocked for a single action shot. :razz:

Besides, as anyone with a shred of common sense can plainly see... Oh, heck, I'll have to get back to you. The postman just delivered the latest summer catalog. I've been trying to find the outfit Klinger wore on a MASH rerun I saw last week. Checking my safety, off to the mall! :biggrinjester:

My wife says the outfit on the bottom of page 4 looked nice on me, but only when I open carry. "rlol"

Once they get the bugs worked out it could be a pretty nice gun. But they might want to take same of the ugly out while they are at it.
