OP, et al:

Regarding the "manual safety" or not discussion, when I initially started
carrying I definitely wanted a manual safety on mine. As a nervous new guntoter,
I figured I could use all the help I could get not to have an ND.

Well, after some years of carrying and getting used to the armed lifestyle, I have
relaxed my opinion of manual safeties. My gun has never pulled its own trigger, I
have proper holsters that cover the trigger, and I would now feel pefectly OK from a
personal standpoint to consider a "point and shoot" gun (one without a manual safety).

As long as you obey the "4 Rules", then it doesn't matter whether your gun has a manual
safety or not.

Having no manual safety means you can fire your weapon a split second sooner,
BUT if a BG were to grab your weapon, he would be able to fire it fast too.
A manual safety would slow down a gungrabber and give you a chance to regain control of
your piece. Punch him in the ear to screw up his sense of balance. That should ring his bell. :-)
