For one, the complacency that they can lead to as previously mentioned, but admittedly that can also be avoided by proper mindset and training.
The main downside to them for me is as follows. It is very easy to practice and train yourself to handle a loaded striker fired pistol with no safety...
As stated above, watch the gun into the holster to make sure no obstructions. You should be doing that with an external safety too. The addition of an external safety does not give you a free pass on basic handling practices. And that is my big problem with them, the false sense of security...
No offense but if transferring a loaded firearm between holsters makes you paranoid, you should probably spend more time training with it. Keep finger off the trigger, watch the gun into the quality holster to make sure there are no obstructions and it cannot go off. The addition of an external...
I don’t understand the point of having a safety on a striker fired pistol that is stored in a quality holster. Could maybe see a use case for one if you were to pocket carry one, or carry mexican style in the waistline with no holster. Other than that, it makes no sense.

Get a 3/4 ton gasser. Best of both worlds. Bigger size like the 1 ton, cheaper maintenance like a 1/2 ton, lighter weight for off roading and not sinking in the mud. Made the switch about 8 years ago and Ill never own anything different unless I HAVE to have the extra torque of a diesel.

Outdoor activities-mammoth cave, red river gorge…particularity Natural Bridge, Cumberland gap.
Indoor-if they are in to baseball at all, the Louisville Slugger Museum is pretty cool. They can have their own wooden bat engraved too. Science museum in louisville is great for that age. Aquarium...
Did he mean you could get “swollen downstairs from time to time” for eternity? Or just a short period after surgery?

FWIW, I was in moderate to severe pain for over two weeks. I am at week 4.5 at this very moment and am still pretty tender on occasion. Not claiming that I’m the toughest guy on the planet, but I’ve broken close to a dozen bones, countless sprains, 1 major surgery etc. so I am no stranger to...
