Practice, dry fire then at the range. After 1,000 rounds you will be comfortable, with whatever you are carrying

Amen! While I have both and use both, manual and no manual safeties, it’s a nice piece of mind not having it. With the development of internal safeties that I’ve taken apart and seen, I don’t feel the need for external anymore especially for a CCW.Comfortable almost immediately. I’d much rather not have a manual safety, it’s one less thing to deal with if you ever have to draw and use your firearm.

If you understand how the action works, it will allow you to become comfortable with it. A Sig P365 for instance, is not going to go off if dropped and needs the trigger to actually move the striker back to the release point before it will fire. If you where a proper holster and don't play with your gun, it won't discharge.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.
However, playing with your gun normally leads to excessive discharge...If you understand how the action works, it will allow you to become comfortable with it.

This is true for Glocks but the P365 keeps the striker 100% cocked.If you understand how the action works, it will allow you to become comfortable with it.

WTF? Here I thought you would have been besties with The Lama.Sniffing a holster here. Norm "Hoot" Hooten, depicted in the movie, was a trainer in our Orlando field office.
His first year there he ramped up and trained one of our tactical teams to compete in the yearly Orange County SWAT round up.
They competed 4 years I think? and placed in the top 5 or so each year. I think 3rd place the first year.
FYI, he never did that in the Mog.
What 'little bar'?I'm considering a p365x, which has the flat trigger. Does it have the "little bar?
The average OEM seems to be between 4.5 and 5.5 pounds. It's a two stage, with some light take-up, then it meets some resistance and fires with a little additional pressure.How much force is required to fire that pistol?
Yes.Should I assume the striker mechanism is always cocked when a round is chambered?
I don't want a safety either, and proved that to myself yet again. I'm used to DA/SA revolvers and DA/SA semi-autos.(I'm not used to striker-fired pistols, obviously. I'd prefer not to have to worry about a safety.)
A friend of mine has an M&P Shield and the exact same thing keeps happening to her.For what it's worth, we had a guy in our last steel match shooting a P365 with a manual safety, and it was engaging itself just about every other or second other round. At first, we all naturally assumed his thumb was bumping it, so he made a deliberate attempt to ride it down. That wasn't very feasible because the lever is so small, and it didn't make a difference. Then, he lowered his grip...a lot, and it kept happening.
In hindsight, I wish we had videoed him and tried to catch a shot with the super slow-mo these newfangled phones have and also gotten someone else to shoot it. But, he was gripping it so low, and there were so many eyes watching intently, I'm confident it wasn't his thumb doing it. He said he was going to send it back to SIG. Hopefully he'll have an answer by the next match.
Anybody else have similar experiences? I know that was only one example, but it made me glad my P365 never had a manual safety...and I don't think any of my next ones will.
No.Is it enough of a ledge to ride when shooting?
I have a 365 with a thumb safety. Never had that problem. I only have a few hundred rounds through it. The detent is pretty strong. Unless it’s defective, I can’t imagine it being engaged just due to recoil.For what it's worth, we had a guy in our last steel match shooting a P365 with a manual safety, and it was engaging itself just about every other or second other round.

Yet…Well there is at least one good thing about this thread
No One has said to carry the pistol in Condition 3 or worse used the term “Israeli Carry”.
But.. but, you just did...Well there is at least one good thing about this thread
