What do you consider a "safety"? - Page 3

I’m a revolver guy, so I don’t deal with a “safety” much.

But I do own a handful of 1911’s. I consider the thumb safety a “safety”, in my opinion. I don’t really think of the grip safety as a “safety”, though. I know they perform the same function (preventing the gun from being fired), but for some reason I don’t think of the grip safety as a “safety”. I carry revolvers, but I would have no problem at all carrying one of my 1911’s cocked and locked.
