[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Noisy safety release on USPs

Posted: 1/11/2006 12:53:32 PM EDT

There's no way to silently release the safety on the USPF 45, anybody here see that as an issue?

I asked this question 3 years ago, the answer is No. it would be nice as an ultra tactical silent decock

Well the noisy decock as with the P7s I can understand, the only time you'd use it is when things are safe and you don't need stealth.

Safety release however is the opposite. I can only hope bad guys lose their bowels from the sound of the safety release like with shotguns being racked

I don't really see it as a problem.

When I take it off safe, my gun is already pointed at my target. I don't think an advisary would have enough time from hearing the click to turn and sight me in before I could pull the trigger

Well, I choose to look at my safety/decocker as a decocker. I leave it in double action, and treat it as a glock/revolver. No need for a double action gun and a safety....that double action pull is enough to worry about.

If you're pointing your gun at somebody with the intention of shooting them, the "click" of the safety is going to be the least of your worries.

This is almost as dumb as the guy who claimed that the sound of turning on an Aimpoint was going to compromise you in a home defense scenario.

Um, if you really need to be that stealthy, simply brace the lever with another finger or so and move it slowly.
