This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think that's a reasonable opinion. The safety argument is one of those things that is right on the line, so quite a lot of people fall on either side.

i could see it go either way, but i really just don't think it's that significant to the point where it matters enough to bother with.

Unless you're using a competition pistol at a competition or something, in which case you could make the argument situationally and i would understand it, but generally, i'd much rather have a safety on my pistol than not, especially if conceal carrying for example.

See I think that carrying is the exact scenario that warrants not having a safety, while I find it acceptable (even desirable) to have a safety on a range or hunting gun.

Opinions, opinions...

It's been nice chatting anyhow.

yeah, matter of opinion i suppose, but personally, if i can't deholster my pistol and remove the safety in a quick enough time chances are i'm not going to be trained well enough to be able to properly utilize it at that point. It's all muscle memory at the end of the day, and if you don't regularly train for it, you can't use it when it needs to be used.

Likewise to you.
