I use the SW4006 on duty and of course it has a safety. The only time that I use it though, is when I place my sidearm in my wall locker to go home for the night or decocking when I'm on the range. When the weapon is on my hip, the safety is off. This year we are switching over to the Glock 22's. IMO they are more user friendly for people who do not shoot alot (even though they should) and can take the abuse of being in and out of the weather without being cleaned (some people don't believe in taking care of their weapons). I currently use a Glock for my team and have yet to have a malfunction with it although I still practice for the occasion.
I have a question. We all know that when you get into a high stress situation and we enter fight or flight, we loose our fine motor skills (such as accurate movement of individual fingers). If you have your safety on when the sidearm is in your holster, are you going to have the physical ability to push that safety to fire when it matters? This is why Glock makes the slide release so small because in those high stress situations, they want you to rely on using the whole hand, not just the finger. What do you guys think.
