Massad Ayoob makes a case for carrying with safety...

essentially, if you were somehow disarmed from a bad guy, here's the average time it would take them to shoot you with it:
Revolver - 1.2 seconds
Semi-Auto w/ Safety - 16.8 seconds
the argument is that it takes longer for the bad guy to figure out how to engage the weapon. most semi-autos have 2 levers (slide lever / safety lever if it was made with one). 1911 styles have 4 (slide / thumb safety / grip safety / hammer if it isn't cocked).

Who the hell drops the hammer on a 1911 with a round in the chamber?

This is probably about how long it takes for folks who don't practice drawing to draw

For a person that open carry’s I can see this as being a valid point. For myself I’m pretty sure that my gun will stay concealed and holstered until the point that I pull it and begin to shoot. If it has a safety I would sweep it at draw and not put back on safe. In that scenario the end result is the same, bad guy has a gun off of safety?!

Probably because he forgot the safety was on.

Massad knows his shite but pimping 1911’s while working for WC is just an infomercial. Don’t get me wrong I love 1911’s but to carry one effectively takes an enormous amount of trying to be proficient.

I’ll just stick to IWB carrying my Hellcat
