If you hate manual safeties, then get a Glock, Springfield or a brand that offers a model without one. The NRA seems to dislike safeties as they always teach "Never to depend on one, as they fail". I'd love to see some statistics to back up that theory. And I don't mean like the Remington 700 rifles that had a design flaw, but and actual mechanical safety failure.
Well, i think the reason they say that is to make sure some moron doesn't point a gun at someone and think "oh, the safety is on, so let me pull the trigger" I've heard people, oh don't worry the safety is on. I don't give a *****....a loaded gun is loaded, safety on or not.
The NRA has it's 3 rules, pointed in a safe direction, finger off the trigger, and only loaded when it's needed. Red Dot Arms has it's rule above all those....Treat every gun as a loaded gun.
Oh, and yeah, I'm not big on manual safeties, but I do love the grip safety on my Springfield.
