[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3857171, member: 41176"] I think I answered most of your original post WRT how you asked. However, to answer this last clarified question I'll say this: You would have to incorporate some kind of Glock safety trigger, or a firing pin block, or a grip safety or some other internal safety device to make a rifle's safety functions, act like a pistol using these same features. Putting these features on a rifle though, would most likely be impractical, cost prohibitive, and overly complicated/engineered because they don't function the same as traditional pistols. Maybe, when someone decides to design a recoil operated slide action rifle with the mag integrated into the pistol grip, or maybe fore or aft of the pistol grip, then maybe we will see a rifle with a grip safety, trigger safety, firing pin block, or combo thereof in a rifle. I can't speak to the delay argument because makes zero sense and is not a real-life thing, nor is the confusion of messing with the safety to the point of throwing your gun. [/QUOTE]
