Hi folks- I'm trying to understand some things. I'm new to firearms in general.
I wanted to know about the merits of external safeties vs. internal safeties, some have a little lever some have a trigger safety- etc. This is regarding a self-defense weapon for myself. I don't know what I'll get yet (not at that stage quite yet.) I was reading that other thread about the fellow who got a Glock as his first gun with great interest . DH is quite insistent my handgun should have an external safety but I don't think he or I really understand the whole question. I thought all guns have safeties? Is one type "safer" for a newbie, or something?
Anyway I'm sure the subject has been covered before, could you folks point it out for me please, or show me an article to read? Thank you!
