Pin grip safety?

Maybe. My intent was to point out that people drop and bobble guns and sometimes forget to apply the thumb safety. If you don't want the extra layer of protection or feel it only provides a false sense security that is your call. 

Most people don't considering how few guns have GS's or manual safety for that matter. Most just rely on the trigger dingus on 2lb triggers.

IDPA got itself into the current inconsistent "well ask up the authority ladder, in rung order" by abandoning the "ask HQ for a clarification" system of several years back.  The significant clarifications were posted online on the HQ site, for all to see.  Consistency was possible under this method, which IDPA HQ chose to abandon.

Many of the "plastic fantastic" guns have a version available with a manual thumb safety.  Most all these levers are tiny, not lending themselves to rapid manipulation "on" or "off".  The same gun, in its LE version, typically will not have the itty bitty thumb safety lever present. I simply make sure to get the LE version in that case.  The LE version usually omits the civilian magazine safety too, which I likewise can do without.

 

Occasionally a gun is going to get loose and fall.  The onus goes to the owner to make certain no mod's are done to the gun to make it less safe than stock when it hits the ground.

 

Humans tend to try to grab for a loose falling knife in the kitchen, unless they are well conditioned.  That conditioning needs extension to their reaction to a falling gun.  We can learn if we try.

That was when Robert Ray was at the Berryville HQ, then they had the purge - giving everyone there their walking papers (Joyce didn't have the guts to do it herself and had one of her minions do it).

 

With Robert you gat an answer if he had one and of not he got back to you.

 

Call your AC isn't working, you have 50 AC, SC and IPOC's and that many possible different answers.
