So many pistols have been so successful without a manual safety. Why does Ruger feel the need to add one? Instant disqualifier for me.
I never understood this line of thinking. I have a S&W shield that has a safety. I flipped it to fire when taking it out of the box, and never thought about it again. It doesn't hurt me that it is there. I EDC a Glock. If it came with a safety I'm capable of flipping it to fire and forgetting about it. Now, if it automatically went to safe when changing mags, or something like that, it would be a deal breaker for me aswell, but as long as I just have to flip it to fire, I dont care if its there or not.

The concern is inadvertently flipping it to safe and then when drawing not remembering to flip it to fire before pulling the trigger.
Good point. I guess if the safety was overly large and it was possible to accidentally hit it I could see that being an issue. Every one I've seen the safety was so small your not going to hit it on accident, but I have no doubt I have not seen them all.
IF it is that low then I’ll probably pick one up, because why notIf that sells in the low $300's it could be a big hit. (street price vs MSRP)
I guess I just don't want my self-defense guns to have anything unnecessary. A magazine disconnect isn't a big deal, and I could just ignore it, but I would just rather have a pistol without it. Same with manual safeties, or Hillary keyholes.I never understood this line of thinking. I have a S&W shield that has a safety.

Glock does make a 19 with a bang switch, it's called the triggerFrom a gun person point of view. I dont care about the safety. From the rest of the world point of view OHMYGAWD GUNS WITHOUT SAFETIES AHHH SO MUCH DANGER.
its a big segment of the market. I am astounded glock hasnt made a 19 with a bang switch. Seems like they are giving up a lot of money by refusing to do it.
Ive owned a shield with and without a safety. Dont care either way.
