cmalin06 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I'm alsways on top of the safety as well. Sure would suck to accidentally engage safety by being under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thormx538 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Thumb-under feels more natural to me, but I force myself to shoot thumb-over to avoid flipping the safety on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lets you hold the firearm the way you want to naturally hold everything else, with thumb and fingers closer to forming a complete circle around the object. That is not the way you should be holding a handgun to shoot it rapidly. Edited December 20, 2016 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whose thumbs are so tough they wear away a mark into steel slides??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
