Yup, get one with a safety or retro-fit.SIG makes the 365 with a manual safety.
^^ This ^^How comfortable would you be carrying a double action revolver? Same rules apply. If it's in a good holster, it's safe. If you're looking for more peace of mind, you can always yank your holster, insert the gun, and then put the holster on. If you carry 3 oclock, simply hip out so the muzzle is pointing a foot or so away from your leg and towards the ground next to you as you holster. If you carry appendix, you can step back with your dominant side leg and cant the muzzle away from your wangus as you holster to point the muzzle at the ground out in front of you as you holster.
If you're really unsure about the safety, you can yank a bullet from a carry load so that it is just primed brass. Chamber that primed brass and carry around the house for a while with your carry setup. If you hear a pop, that's a bad sign and you need to re-evaluate your carry setup. Intentional holstering into a quality holster eliminates 99.9% of the risks of a ND with or without a manual safety.
True. A lot of P365 users engage the safety to reholster, then flip it off for carry once the gun is safely holstered.Best thing about a safety, is that you do not have to use it. And NO, it's not going to engage when you draw the pistol.
At first, I was a little nervous, especially with holstering. These striker-fired guns are much easier to fire than a DA revolver, but the principle is the same. Pay attention, take your time and be careful. The main danger is in holstering the gun, and that probably ranks a close second to unloading/loading - the less you play with it, the safer you'll be.
Been there, done that, carried a model 36 for several years. The P365s are better in many ways, including concealment.Or, carry a j-frame style revolver.
Yeah probably not the best idea. Don't add any more steps to your drawing/holstering ritual. It makes zero sense to try and satisfy a security concern holstering when looking into the holster is fine. The pistol is completely safe when holstered.True. A lot of P365 users engage the safety to reholster, then flip it off for carry once the gun is safely holstered.

It's minimal. And your thumb shouldn't engage it.Is it enough of a ledge to ride when shooting?
For those new to daily carrying:
How long before you get comfortable with having ni manual safety like the sig p365 or glock?
I have a full size handgun now with a manual safety and looking at smaller carry guns.
