I've been dry firing and practicing speed reloads a bunch lately, and was reading some articles on both, and ran across some info suggesting safety on (for single action semi autos) during all reloads. I have never turned my safety on (Stock 1) during a speed reload, and can't think of a good reason to. If I'm doing a tactical/adminstrative reload with a round in the chamber, I flick safety on, as I'm only doing that if there is no immediate threat and I'm off target. But in an emergency/speed reload situation, my gun has either just gone "click" or is locked back empty. My thoughts are on strip mag, draw new, insert, rack, and back on target to reassess threat, then, and only then, safety on, low ready if threat eliminated. With the Stock 1, you can't rack the slide with the safety on and hammer down, as it locks the hammer. Is there any good reason to add mid reload safety manipulation to my reload practice regimen?
