I'm well aware of that. I was sticking to the terminology used by the poster.
The point still remains. Don't fsck with someone's weapon. Hand it back exactly as it was handed to you. Chris |

You folks are quite correct, in my opinion. We sometimes forget that in a true confrontational situation fear will always be present along with the adrenalin. Brains don't work as well under those conditions. Yes, training helps a great deal, and we do tend to react as we are trained, but even training can fail if there is enough adrenalin. The simpler the better, I think. If you can arrange it so all you must do is point the weapon and squeeze a trigger, the better off you are. The issue of manipulating a safety is one of the major reasons I carry a Glock or a double/single action when I carry a semi-auto, and NEVER carry a 1911.

That's why I carry a Glock 23 and Taurus PT-145 Mill Pro, duh
Same manuel of arms as a revolver, point and click...Of course the Glcok has no safety and gets treated likea double action only revolver, and gets EXTRA attension when being holstered
 . The Mill Pro is double action only, so basically it IS, a semi-automatic revolver ! It does however have a safety that must be thumbed up to safe the weapon, and thumbed down to fire. I only use it while holstering the pistol, and as soon as it is holstered, the safety comes off...If I have a gun on me, any gun I carry, has one up the pipe and a disabled safety(if applicable). All my carry guns are, atleast in my mind and training pattern, double action only revlovers.......That just happen to spit brass
