I am *possibly* going to be transitioning from a striker fired gun to a cocked and locked gun. How many repetitions do I need until I am at the point that the safety is switched off as it clears the holster because that is the only thing that feels normal?
If I go this path, am I going need to abandon anything else for carry? |

As many as it takes until you’re doing it every time without thinking. Could be 100, could be 10,000, you’ll just have to find out.

Thumb goes to the safety on the draw and is disengaged before the sights come into alignment. Not after. That's slow.
If it's a 1911 or 2011 style gun your thumb should always be on that safety during the firing cycle applying downward pressure. Unless you have brain lock or something it really doesn't take that long to become second nature. I can say when I switched from Glock to 2011 in competition I never once "forgot" to disengage the safety. The whole thing has really been overblown by idiots. |

The usual recommendation is do about 5,000 proper repetitions of dry draws... If you practice your draw in reverse every time that also counts as a rep.

Gonna bump this because i lately installed the manual safety on my 365. It only took me a hand full of dry fire and one live session to feel comfortable enough to carry it again.
Maybe 300 dry / 100 live rounds ? |
