[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 2669397, member: 7815"] GTG (in post #7) said everything I was inclined to say on this subject. If the only way you're comfortable carrying a loaded gun is to have an external manual safety, then cool, that's what the free market is for. Personally I avoid them; I like Glocks, revolvers -- "Condition Two" guns. Simple, simple. All my CCWed guns have that same manual of arms. But if a gun [U]does[/U] have a manual safety, then I want it to be like a 1911 lever: big, prominent, easily manipulated, clear and positive in operation. I hate the tiny manual safeties on many S&W and Ruger CCW guns. They are too small and hard to manipulate. I'd worry that I would draw only to find the little safety Chiclet was inadvertently engaged and I've got a dead gun. Those safeties are unfortunate half-measures; the worst of both worlds IMO.
