Joe Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 On CM's if the instructions state "Engage T1-T3 with..." does that mean in order. T1 then T2 and so on? Or is it free style? I know the rules state CM's aren't required to comply w/'as and when visible' thus my question. Can a regular COF stipulate order? On manual safeties, when are they required to be engaged? I understand when holstering or placing on a table or some other prop but at what other times? Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Joe, For USPSA Classifiers, I could not find any definitive rule on target order. My interpretation is that they may be engaged in any order unless otherwise stated. Besides the times you mentioned, the only other one I can think of right now is a holster retention test.

Ron Ankeny Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Joe: Shooter grrl is correct on the engagement order. I have an e-mail from John Amidon to that effect and I'll send it to you if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I'm definitely no "rule expert," but on having the safety engaged, it must be engaged to begin a course of fire. After that, your finger must at least be out of the trigger guard while moving, and engaging the safety while moving wouldn't be a bad thing either. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawrence Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 I don't think that a manual safety is "required" to be engaged any other time than holstering. I find myself on autopilot and engaging it when crawling through tunnels or moving a long distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too and at the time it seems bizarre because it just happens (engaging the safety) without me planning it and right after I do it I think (whoa, that was cool).

ErikW Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I've been putting the safety on a lot recently, with no conscious effort. There is a downside. Sunday I left a position and my thumb flicked on the safety instead of reaching for the mag release, so my reload was a little late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 I put the safety on when running as I'm a gangly runner and tend to have my weight back when stopping from a forward run. In other words I've fallen down before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
