I won’t buy nor carry a pistol without a safety. Way too “old school” for that.! If I did, I probably won’t have any toes left on my right foot.
“Cocked and locked” is the only way to go.. :)
I carried a revolver for most of my police career. A cocked and locked 1911 was not an option. No safety on a revolver, you just need to keep your finger out of the trigger guard until you’re on target. During the latter years of my career there were two officers in my state that shot them selves with 1911 platform pistols. Training, training , training!
