[QUOTE="imhntn, post: 954610, member: 3755"] Because if you have to use a gun in a defensive situation, the last thing you need to think about is switching a safety off. You might forget in the moment and the gun will not go bang when you want it to. I much prefer carry pistols without thumb safetys for that reason. I have accidentally knocked the safety on in competition several times, especially when it has an ambidextrous thumb safety. It always surprises me and takes me a minute to figure out why the gun isn't running. [/QUOTE]
