If that is the only safety you have left while drawing the weapon, I'll take Hole in Your Foot for $1000 Alex.
While handling the weapon, before you have it pointed at something that a hole in won't cause you to cry, redundant safeties are a big plus.
Are there any other safeties in that situation other than "ain't nothing going to cause the trigger to move"?
Thousands of people carry defensive weapons every day with no manual safety and somehow manage to not shoot themselves.Thousands moredo have manual safeties and sweep them to the off position while drawing from the holster, also without shooting themselves. If you wait until you've acquired target in a self defense situation beforemoving the safety to the off position, you're probably going to lose the encounter.
The most important safety is the one between your ears, and it's the one I depend on most.
That being said, I don't understand the need for a holster of this sort with a Mak. They are a DA/SA pistol that's designed to be carried with one on the pipe and decocked. This holster not only adds steps to the draw and gives you the opportunity to make more mistakes, it seems to defeat the purpose of the guns design.
