Talking Re: Safeties... Who needs 'em?
How you like to carry your gun is your business, pending on platform I agree, when I carried a Beretta 92FS I carried it hammer down (not cocked), safety off. I carry my Bersa .380 in the same manner.

Now that I carry mainly single action guns, mostly 1911's I use the thumb safety.

I look at like this, some guns need them, some don't. Revolvers have been around A LONG time without safeties, and they shouldn't have them, just like DAO autos.


**edited to add, when I carried my Beretta it was in combat and if I ever had tp pull it I wanted to make sure it would go bang as quick as possible. Now when I do carry the Bersa (harldy ever) I carry it in that fashion mainly because after "X" years of pushing a safety down on a 1911, I don't want to try the same thing on the Bersa, and I'm to lazy to retrain myself for the one gun that I hardly carry any more, my Smith 642 has replaced it.
