Carry over from another thread.
I'm hearing it's "safer" to pocket carry a DA revolver than say a Glock in another thread. I'm not going to say either way, I carried a Glock 19 for years, holstered or "Mexican carry" with no issues, no AD's.
Years later with KS making carry legal, I decided it might be nice to have something small to throw in a pocket time to time. There are a few occasions I don't feel like/feel the need to carry my Delta Elite.
I bought a Ruger LCR .357, just for pocket carry and didn't think a thing about it needing a holster. FF a year later and we have a series of AD's, all from un-holstered handguns of various types. Well Mrs sawinredneck watches a news article about how this could all be avoided by putting the guns in holsters. She drags me off to the gun shop and we get a pocket holster to make her happy! Funny thing is, I rather like carrying it better this way! I forget the make and name, but will gladly provide if needed.
But what makes the striker fired that much more unsafe? To me at least, anything hits the trigger wrong it's a bad day no matter what you carry! I always carry my wallet and keys in my right pocket, unless there's a gun in there, then it's empty. One of the AD's here was a guy carrying in his sock, the gun went off as he adjusted it!
Im not trying to advocate anything either way, my wife made my decision for me, and I like it better, but what makes you think or feel, that one type of action is safer than another?
Please keep it civil, just a discussion, nothing more.
