I believe it is very similar to a lunch break, often times they are not visible in the wild.What's a safety?

Striker fired or revolver too easy trigger press !
This. I was home from college during an attempted burglary and had left my firearm at my apartment. I grabbed my dad’s 39-2 and quickly found out your fine motor skills really do go out the window when the adrenaline hits. If you want to carry a gun with a manual safety, don’t do so until disengaging it is muscle memory.I'm with you, OP. If you must vary your carry, keep the manual of arms the same. Even if you switch DA/SA to striker, keep the safety (or lack) the same.
If you have a safety, train to use it. Not much will picker your orifice like pulling the trigger and nothing happens because you always leave the safety off and for some reason, it gets clicked on. I've seen it several times at the range and in matches. Heck I've done it myself with my bolt target guns that I never use the safety on.
Personally, push-up-to-fire safeties are the devil. slide mounted safeties are the devil. If I can't rest my right thumb on the safety while firing (a la 1911), it's the devil lol.
The primary safety is that grey thingy between your ears...if that ain't workin' properly, nuthin' else will work properly either!What's a safety?
Ruger did make a P-95 in DAO (I have one and it shoots crazy accurate) but the frame is slightly different than a De-Cock Only P-95 so there is no conversion for a De-Cock P-95. They show up occasionally on GB but they're rare so grab one if you can!I've got a couple with safeties, one of which I wouldn't mind getting converted which is the Ruger P-95, they did make a decock only version but unfortunately mine isn't. The other is a S&W 39-2 which while not a safe queen does have sentimental value. The Ruger is carried hammer down, safety off when I do carry it which is rarely/never anymore.
Can I ask what that method is?
Agreed. When I used to carry on a regular basis a RugerP-95 there was a time or two I checked and the safety was on, not sure if I neglected to take it off after holstering or if it got bumped on. Either way there is a what if thinking involved.
While I am not saying familiarity is a bad idea, I will still continue to use two platforms and train with them repeatedly and not just under ideal conditions either. It does not take a rocket scientist to manipulate a handgun given a general knowledge of them. What it does take is an intimate familiarity with your edc.My #1 rule for safety is; CARRY!
If everybody carries, There will be weapons and spare ammo all around me. Now, if you are the "one weapon only" carrier that never trains on another weapon, shame on ya. I want to be able to pick up any weapon on the grey man's battle field and use it. If I have to cross Indy on foot to get home, I need an empty bag to carry what I find. Because I will not be carrying enough from the start. Sure most confrontations end in no shots fired, and that is a win in that battle, but the war is protracted. I hope to make it through life without ever needing to fire another round. However, I'll train like I can't draw from the armory without a certified card. Yous do yous and I'll do me. You shoot a Gxxxk only? Thanks. I can shoot a Gxxxk (and well). What you gonna do with my Para Ordnance Carry 12 (what da)...... Or, how'd he uncock that loaded hammerless coachgun? Why does he have a magazine when he is carrying a revolver?
#2 rule; don't stop learning.
My trainers 1st ones at 12 years old) were military and I had that same grip until the ingo people I met helped me into 2 thumbs downrange grip.So I have shot a 1911 since I issued one at the tender age of 17. My memory kicks in and I automatically swipe the safety off. The training scar is I have a thumb over knuckle grip.

My hero the great BBI had a great video of a off duty LEO fumble with a 1911 during a robbery. If I recall he carried a P226 on duty.
You should teach us about the tunnels.I am hesitant to say this..... I have shot a Gxxxk and hit more Xs than with my 1911 using the sights on both. I do shoot 1911 way better without using the sights. I quit owning striker fire weapons. If I'm not hauling a 1911 syle it's a revolver. How many will cross Indy on foot and survive when the end is near? I'd guess less than 0.01%, and I'm being generous. How many know the tunnels?

I used to drive through the last one.
You would not believe some of the underground stuff in the city. I've retrieved quarter million dollar cars with a rollback under Indy. Rollbacks don't fit in parking garages.You should teach us about the tunnels.
Yeah the DAO are pretty rare, but they made the DA/SA in both the decock/safety and decock only. The DAO has neither I believe. Is the frame different between the two DA/SA as well do you know?Ruger did make a P-95 in DAO (I have one and it shoots crazy accurate) but the frame is slightly different than a De-Cock Only P-95 so there is no conversion for a De-Cock P-95.

Having owned several P-95's in DAO / Decock Only and Decock/Safety, the frame for the DA/SA, whether de-cocker only or de-cocker/safety, are the same...it's only when it's a DAO is the frame different as I've found them to be. I'm at the point where I only acquire DAO P-Series pistols, same for Beretta.Yeah the DAO are pretty rare, but they made the DA/SA in both the decock/safety and decock only.
