Isn't a safety not used just a switch that COULD turn your gun OFF? I guess I'm just stupid, but cannot imagine when this could ever be a good thing.

So I began this back when I owned a Shield and I never had an issue with it or gave it a second thought. I just picked up a nice S&W 6906 that I am going to carry and although overall I love the gun, I feel like the enormous first double action trigger pull is safety enough to just ignore the manual one. Anybody agree with me and do the same? I'm obviously not advocating carrying a cocked and locked 1911 this way. Any thoughts/insight?
I carry my 1911 cocked and locked.
Food for thought -
Cocked and NOT locked while carrying in a proper holster that covers the trigger guard, most will agree, is O.K.
If you were to upholster your gun...My Glocks, I carry with the safeties off but I do engage them before upholstering and racking the slides.
