carrying a strkyer pistol in battery with a thumb safety

[Rumblemonkey]

Sig P365, would you carry with one chambered, thumb safety?

[9Cal_OC]

Yes.

I'd prefer a non-safety version though.

I think on the 365 the safety actually disengages the sear doesn’t it?

I would if that's what was given to me, but I prefer no safety.
Every time you draw, just make sure you hit that safety.

As you train, so shall you fight. I am wearing a 365 with one in the chamber and the manual safety engaged right now, as every day.

I shoot it in IDPA and practice draws. "Making sure you hit the safety" is as difficult as pressing the trigger.

[enorbit3]

yes. always one in the chamber. removed the safety from my x macro.

If your gun has a safety, for sure carry and practice drawing with it on. You don't want to forget to swipe it off when you most need the gun because you assume it is off.

[mossy]

no. under no circumstances would i ever carry a striker fired pistol that has a thumb safety. now i do carry a striker fired pistol without a thumb safety on duty as well as off duty. as far as one in the chamber goes, if you aren't carrying with a round chambered, you shouldn't be carrying that gun.

So is it "stryker" issues or "safety" issues?

I think it is a new user issue.

The gun is designed as it is designed. Practice/Train with what you got. That's about all one can do. Or use a different gun.

The Hellcat for example doesn't have the manual safety on it's CA version.

I'd personally not want to explain why I am carrying something in a manner it wasn't designed for.

Perfectly reasonable to carry with a safety, you just need to train using the safety. Its also perfectly safe to carry without a safety, you just need to train knowing there is no safety (and this shouldnt change anything as you should assume loaded and cocked at all times).

This topic has been beaten to death for decades and it comes down to training in either configuration. Both are proficient, both are safe.
