Semi auto, 9mm. Something I didn't own, yet have been considering for a while. I picked it up. Fit my hands perfectly, pointed easily. I left the store with it, and will take it to the range tomorrow. I'm happy with it, but what do you know about it?

Who is for it or against it? I prefer not to have it. This question is like asking someone if they like Ford Mustangs or Chevy Camaros.Its up to personal needs whether or not a thumb safety is a wise idea or not. For someone who's been shooting Glocks for a decade, its probably a bad idea. For someone who's been carrying a 1911 for that same period of time, its a great idea. As long as you own a functional firearm with the skill to put the rounds where you need them who cares whether you like the safety, dont like the safety, prefer a silver slide to a blued slide, small backstrap, large backstrap, etc.

I bought my 9c from Bud's a couple years back with the external safety only because they were on sale for $439. After taking an advanced class and failing to disengage the safety under pressure every time, I took it to a gunsmith and had him remove the safety and install frame plugs. I ordered my 45c without the safety. I know you can choose to leave it disengaged, but I personally like it better without. One less thing to do before you pull the trigger, which could mean the difference between going home to my family or not. As someone said, it is redundant and unnecessary.
