I hear two things all the time:

1. “The only safety I need is my finger.”

2. “I’ll never have my trigger blocked — it only slows me down.”
 

The truth?

That first statement only holds up during mid- to long-range shooting or in controlled settings like the range. It doesn’t hold up in close-quarters encounters or when you’re going hands-on with a violent offender.
 

As for the second, trigger blocking only slows you down if you don’t train.
The video below proves that.

Why? More compact and safer to carry, transport, and store!
