How can you guarantee that safety doesn't get bumped on throughout your day and then you draw the gun and don't sweep it off. That should be incorporated into your draw stroke and if the gun has a safety then use it as intended...or get one without. The last thing you want in a self defense encounter is inconsistency.
@@rinksgunsport Because we as humans usually walk forward, if something bumps into the safety button while moving forward, it will always be bumped in a way to press the safety down to off or to keep it to off. I can only imagine it would be accidentally bumped to safety on is if we walk backwards and bump into something. (This is assuming we carry it at the 3 or 9 o clock positions, it may be a good point for appendix carry) I like safeties because I know some of stories of accidental discharges come during holstering and re holstering.
@@michaelchan877 Held it at the gun shop today and that safety was very tight and a bit hard to get to to flip it off. They should have made a tab that sticks out a tad bit to make it easier to thumb it off. My Keltec P17 has a safety but that safety "lever" sticks out so its really easy to thumb press it down to take the safety off. But this is most def a gun that you will have to practice with because that safety is not the easiest to operate.
Is there no gunsmithing hack that could losen the safety up a bit.. Even my original BG's thumb safety is far more easy to operate.. The 2.0 trigger is absolutely better, even after I completely modified it out with trigger and all other things upgradeable..
oh yea that would be nice, same size, same weight but in a 22LR. If they can squeeze 12 rounds of 380 in that mag, they should be able to squeeze a MIN of 15 rounds of 22LR in there. Keltec P17 can get 17 in there with the same size grip
Thanks for the video. I use to own the original BG with the thumb safety never used it, I would put it in the holster and then in my pocket, I do the same thing now with my LCP max ( no thumb safety), and to be honest I do the same with my AIWB, there is no reason to rush re-holstering. Even in competition the timer stops after the last round not when the weapon is in the holster.

Got the one with the safety. I'll probably run it with it flipped off but why pay the same price for less features? I'll take the safety.
The BEST 380 EVER! Done right..., finally!
It's definitely in the running!
I use thumb safeties only when I holster and unholster. safety on, put gun in holster, then flip safety off.

Can the gun fire if you flip the safety off while the trigger is snagged on something?
@@coreygraham860 i have only 1 gun with a manual safety which is the Keltec P17, with the trigger "snagged" or pulled back, the safety lever did drop.

Great review! I hope S&W will offer a .22lr version soon!
Much appreciated! That would be cool!

Got without out 🎉🎉🎉
I will be purchasing a non safety model as well!

Thanks for watching!
How did you get one that has a thumb safety on both sides?
All the other models, I saw only had a thumb safety on one side .
They're all like that
Yeah, they all come with an ambi for either side.. IF you can flip it off without using both hands.. It is horribly stiff..
So is it flip down to fire like AR's ??
It's flip down to fire like a 1911
👍
Much appreciated!
