This Clown Forgot The Safety On The Gun… And Accidentally Proved My Point

About this video

Colion uses surveillance footage from a reported restaurant incident to illustrate why he believes manual safeties can be problematic for new gun owners. He argues that under stress, most people forget to disengage frame-mounted safeties, drawing on his own training experience and the incident where the attacker’s safety remained engaged. Colion teaches that extensive training is required to make safety manipulation intuitive, or alternatively, that beginners should consider guns with passive safeties or ergonomic designs like the 1911.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that 99% of the time under stress, people forget to disengage manual safeties unless extensively trained
• According to Colion, only platforms like the 1911/2011 have ergonomics that make safety manipulation naturally intuitive for most shooters
• Colion teaches that if carrying a gun with a frame-mounted safety, the user must train extensively until disengagement becomes automatic and unconscious
