I have said for years that the reason is due to 13 round semi-auto
hand guns.

With a revolver, you only have six - makes you concentrate.
One of my favorite gun technique books suggests taking only 6 rounds to the
range, no matter what kind of handgun you're shooting. Good idea.

All my kids were trained that way. In fact, when my youngest went to
the Academy in SC, he noticed that the more bullets they were issues,
the more the used them.

He took his time, minimum shots and did well.

It's the revolver training.

I have a 9mm Glock, but I never carry it unless I'm in the woods. For
just carrying purposes, it's a .357 mag on a .38 frame.


I wouldn't "carry" a semi without a real safety, either, though I do
like shooting a Glock at the range. Is that a single or double action .357?

Oh deer!

I think the last time I heard that was in kindergarten from a little
fat kid who peed his pants, didn't play well with others and drooled
when he ate.

Its interesting how some things don't change.


You're still the same guy you were then, eh?

All semis have a "safety". One is the owner (hopefully). The other is a
holster that's correct for the situation at hand. If you still believe a
mechanical safety is needed, please explain why, in light of the fact that
revolvers don't have them.

It takes a bit more effort to fire off a revolver, especially a
single-action revolver which, if I "carried," would be what I would
carry. The Glocks I fire have no more than a five pound trigger pull,
and despite the "famous" Glock trigger mechanism, I can envision ways it
might get snagged or caught somewhere in the process of drawing it.

My two semi-autos have "safeties."

Oh deer!

This is silly. If you can't control your finger:

- Don't put your finger inside the trigger guard.
- Get to the hospital. You've had a stroke.

Dang - did every kindergarten have one of those?

Must have been an epidemic or something. :)

I don't think that's an accurate assessment. Migratory and non-migratory Canada geese are different
subspecies. Branta canadensis maxima being the larger non-migratory goose.

Goose dogs are the only way to go.

tom,
Don't you mean Watch-Geese?

No - goose dogs.

I know a guy who shot himself in the foot pulliing a pistol out of a
holster. Now I know you are going to jump all over this one and tell
me everything he did wrong. Then I will tell you that I was not there,
and know as much about the incident as you do. Anyway, you asked why a
safety on a pistol? I give you my answer although I do not know if he
had a "holster that's correct for the situation at hand". I alway left
when firearms came to a party;) Back then if a gun showed up either
somoeone was drunk, or someone was going to get hurt or both.

Oh deer!
