I am *possibly* going to be transitioning from a striker fired gun to a cocked and locked gun. How many repetitions do I need until I am at the point that the safety is switched off as it clears the holster because that is the only thing that feels normal? If I go this path, am I going need to abandon anything else for carry? |

Thumb goes to the safety on the draw and is disengaged before the sights come into alignment. Not after. That's slow. If it's a 1911 or 2011 style gun your thumb should always be on that safety during the firing cycle applying downward pressure. Unless you have brain lock or something it really doesn't take that long to become second nature. I can say when I switched from Glock to 2011 in competition I never once "forgot" to disengage the safety. The whole thing has really been overblown by idiots. |
Alright. I'll gladly take that.
