Point ' shoot or safety on.

[MoJo]

Ok do you carry a point 'n shoot gun or one with a manual safety? What's the reason for your choice?

I prefer pns I carry an M&P 40 and a 5 shot snub as a backup . I think by the time the stress factor gets to OSG (oh shucks gunfight) my mental state is going to be focused on staying alive not operating a safety etc.

i ALWAYS keep my (point and shoot) LCP in my pocket .(with one in the pipe)
and when going out i also take my Taurus cocked and locked ...(one in the pipe with safety on)

Point and shoot

XD has grip and trigger safety, when held really the only way you can shoot it, it goes bang.

Tell me about the xd in 45. cal. Thats interesting.

[GlockFan]

Point and shoot here...Haven't been bit by the
1911 bug yet.......

[quidni]

You didn't give an option for "yes to more than one choice depending on circumstances."

I like both pns and cnl.

[DONT TREAD ON ME]

I recently purchased a Springfield 1911 for my main carry gun. I used to carry my XD .45. I went to the 1911 because it was sliimer and easier to conceal.

[surprise_i'm_armed]

My Taurus is always carried safety on, 1 in the pipe, 10 in the mag.

I have practiced enough with my pistol that snicking down the safety when needed is part
of my muscle memory.

If I had a 1911 I'd carry it in Condition 1 since I've learned from all the JMB fans that that's how it's done.

If I had an XD I'd feel fine with the combo of grip safety and trigger safety.

Glocks with trigger safety only - No thanks.

I always carry a "point and shoot". Even on my work gun that DA/SA with decocker and manual safety (HK USPc) I keep it decocked but I don't use the actual safety. My other carry guns are DAO (P2000SK with LEM, Glock 19, P32, LCP and LCR).

Same way I carry my USPc. No point in adding one more action I could mess up under stress when the DA pull is like pulling a piano across a glass floor.

I usually carry a S&W Centennial and/or a Glock.

[Mike from Texas]

Well I probably carry both cocked and locked and point and shoot (Glock, and I've managed not to shoot myself, imagine that ) an equal amount. I'm comfortable with either.

I just despise a DA/SA platform though.

[garcia946]

I carry PNS pistols
Glock 27 main carry 10+1
also carry a Sig P229 at times 12+1 DA/SA , like the decocker on it shoots really nice
Both are .40 and both always have one in pipe.

[A-R]

Everything I carry is DA or Glock-style "safe-action". Glock 23, S&W 638, Ruger LCP, and soon Walther PPS. Used to carry Colt Mustang a decade ago. But switching back to a manual safety now would be like trying to teach an old dog new tricks.
