Hello from Guatemala, Central America. First time poster.
I purchased a G3 a couple of months ago. But here is my story and question:
I owned a couple of Glocks a lot of years ago, both of them I ended up selling since since they did not fit my mindset at the time. I grew up around and carried hammer fired pistols only, having owned only DA/SA handguns in recent years. Some months ago I found about the Taurus G3 and really liked the specs, went to a LGS, handled the G3 and liked it very much so I ended up purchasing one. I like the way it feels in my hand and it is a very good and reliable shooter. However, after being used to not having to deal with a safety for many years I have failed to get used to operating one and believe me I have trainned diligently with the G3 but have found that I have missed disengaging the safety more than once. I would really like to make the G3 an EDC if I could learn to trust the internal safetys of the gun and just leave the safety lever alone. So here is my question: Is this a safe gun to carry without engaging the safety lever? Using an appropriate holster of course. Oh, I carry AIWB which makes this question even more relevant in my mind.
Any thoughts are highly appreciated.
