Does Your Safety Make Your Pistol Safe?
This video discusses whether a manual safety mechanism is truly necessary on a pistol, particularly for self-defense. The instructor argues that relying on a safety can create a false sense of security and hinder quick action in high-stress situations. The core message emphasizes that proper training, muscle memory, and adherence to the fundamental rules of firearm safety (finger off the trigger, treat all firearms as loaded, be aware of target and backdrop) are more effective safety measures than an external safety lever. The video encourages viewers to prioritize responsible handling and their own awareness as the primary safety features.
