[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3856678, member: 40561"] Pistols without thumb safeties is all but the norm nowadays and the main reasoning that I hear is because under distress you are more likely to botch the safety and a superior gun for self-defense does not need one. If that is the reasoning, do you guys remove the safeties from your self defense rifles? I'm not trying to start an argument but honest question I thought about tonight while patrolling the backyard for pests with my thumb at the ready to flip the switch. I will not be taking the safety off of my rifle, just thought it could be an interesting discussion. I guess the main caveat here is that most pistols without a safety are striker fire or double action while most rifles are going to be single action so maybe that's the main reason? [/QUOTE]
