first shot double action of my P229? Pretty much this. I just don't like manual safeties, my P226 with its decocker suits my needs. I work part time, selling guns at my local Academy, and I can't help but roll my eyes when people scoff at the idea of owning/buying a handgun that does not have a manual safety. |

My mosin's safety. It's so heavy and hard to use that everyone who gets on to me about not using it shuts up after I invite them to give it a shot.

I see the OP is trying to have a technical discussion.
In that case, I really like the set up on my SAKO 75. The actual safety only has two positions, fire and safe, but there is a seperate mechanism that you can depress which allows you to safely operate the bolt with out going into "Fire mode". So to unload it, I place it on "Safe", drop the magazine, depress the mechanism, and operate the bolt to remove the chambered round. Pretty nifty if you ask me. |

I like the three position safety you get on Savage (and other) bolt guns. The safety on an AR is pretty foolproof also.

With the Remington safety being in the news I thought it could spur some discussion regarding the various forms of safeties. That Sako looks like an elegant gun. |

I'm well practiced with a single-action revolver, and I tend to favor safeties that mimic the motion of pulling back a hammer, for the sake of muscle memory if nothing else. Which is one reason I like the safety on AR15s.

Quoted: That thing on my Glock that prevents the trigger from moving. Same for me, while my trigger finger may be the most important safety, the Glock safety is really quick to disengage compared to a normal slide mounted safety. Just less to fuck up for a guy like me who is just finally about to take his first pistol class. |

I always liked the feature on the Benelli Nova to Unload the magazine tube without ever loading a round into the chamber. Called a "Magazine Cut-Off". |

The only safety I like in a pistol are ones that prevent the gun from firing at any time UNLESS I pull the trigger. That's why I like Glocks and modern revolvers. I dislike any kind of externally malipulated safety on a handgun I intend to carry to protect myself with.
I like the safety of the Ar rifle for a weapon that is carried with an exposed trigger. I also like the dome safety I have on my 870. I dislike AK safeties ALOT. I have very little experience with bolt action rifles, but I do like the safety on enfields. |

Trigger guard. Then the trigger itself. I wouldn't own a gun that didn't have both of these items.
