Yes they are. I’ve been trying to decide if my next gun will be an X Compact, X-Five or a p365

How was I wrong? here's a hint-I wasn't. How is it you know so little about guns, and why do you comment?

I just picked up a x5 Legion and it is freaking awesome. One of the best guns out of the box for the money.

But when you're in a blazing gunfight in the streets of america, any manual manipulation of the weapon system may be detrimental to your survival.

Once the army wises up, theyll quit putting safeties on M4's and just have 2 piece triggers instead.

We like to refer to the military regarding self defense firearms choices, except for the part where they mandate guns submitted for review be designed with a safety.

There are some marines using the Glock 19.

You said that all safeties are manual. That is wrong.

So...you are wrong.

Easy, right?

No it's not.

You can't explain your position because it's wrong. You're always wrong. Like ever single post you make on every board

You don't even know the difference between can't and won't. Ace tried explaining it to you. I'm not going to do that because I'm just fine letting you continue to be ignorant.

They are actively engaging in combat, and training extensively for it. A revolver is not the best choice for that. We've gone over that already.

This is true for just about everyone, but that didn't stop you before, so why should it stop you now.

Revolvers for everyone.

But I thought a revolver was like a real life BFG 9000?

Because I am not training daily for combat nor am I flying to the middle east to find it.

I'm not sure why you have such a hard time understanding the difference between a non-gun-nerd who wants a nightstand gun and active infantry, and how their needs/training are vastly different.

There is little practical difference between the two in this discussion. A fight is a fight is a fight. Your inability to understand that is your biggest issue.

I get it. You want everyone to know you're not one of those mall ninjas or whatever nonsense you used to describe people who use semi-automatic firearms for self defense.

And you're right. You're probably not training daily if at all. That's the least surprising thing posted in the thread.
