It's very little more than deactivating the safety. Granted, as I admitted before, you can deactivate the safety and fire with one hand.
Of course i carry with the safety on.On my particular pistol,i could carry SAFELY without the safety on,but i choose to leave it(the safety) on as doing so does not increase my response time.
But before the weapon even clears leather-my thumb has released the saftey.The pistol is ready to fire as soon as it clears the holster.

Are you going to be cool & calm in a scenario that is escalating into a use of deadly force?Sweaty palms could cause the slide to pre-maturely "slip" from your hand causing a feed jam.You pull the trigger and nothing happens-what then?You're dead-that's what.Reaching over to "rack a round" is wasting indespensible time.

All my carry weapons are based on the Colt Government model.Which means they are all single action.So no matter what pistol is hanging on me,the operation is the same.No thinking about what pistol i just grabbed.Sounds like a theme to me.


I think a deceased equine has arrived.
