Wish MP's had a manuel saftey
The only thing I would change about my two MP's would be to have a manual safety. I was almost tempted to buy another gun instead of the MP because of the lack of a safety. I love my MP's and don't regret buying them, but, I have got to admit I would feel safer with a manuel safety. It is very easy to flip a safety off. For those that don't want a safety, just don't use it.
I used my SW9VE Sigma as a CCW and car gun until I bought my MP's because of the harder, d.a. trigger, like a revolver. A recent article in Guns & Ammo, by Garry James, said the tested MP compact had a 5 1/2 lb trigger pull while S & W says it is 6 1/2 lbs. In either case, that is a much lighter trigger than a d.a. revolver. If the MP 45 didn't offer a manuel safety, I wouldn't buy one. Any auto pistol I buy from now on, will have a manuel safety.
I keep my MP 9mm compact loaded and within easy reach (usually, and no kids) while at home. I used to keep it in a Crown Royal purple bag to kinda keep it out of sight and to protect it. I quit this when I picked up the gun in the bag one day and my finger slipped into the trigger guard. I actually felt the trigger move a little. If there were a safety on it there would be no problem. I'll keep it handy but not in a bag where I might put my finger in the wrong place.
Again, I really love my MP's and I'm sure a lot of you will disagree with me regarding the manuel safety but I would rather have it and have the option to use it or not use it. :wink:
