Well, you didn't have a Lo-Power forum...

This is the pre-GCA of '68 .380 you used to see in the cased engraved Renaissance three gun sets. Here's a photo of one.

The problem is the safety doesn't really "engage" either way. It's harder to put on, but then wipes off if you look at it crosseyed. I'd wondered if a nub could be brazed on the back side of the safety ( behind the checkering ) and then two detents drilled so the nub would drop into them at either on, or off.

I also wonder because I hear of those able to set up a 1911 safety to snap up or down. Is there some way to accomplish set up so the little one's safety works positively?

Hi, Rusty. Well, it's NOT a BHP, but it is a little Browning isn't it?

One thing to consider before carrying such a striker-fired arm is that when carried with a round in the chamber and the striker retracted, there is no half-cock notch as on the 1911 or BHP. If something is not fitted properly, is worn, or the gun dropped, I can sure see how it could inadvertently fire.

Best.

I don't contest your point, Stephen. Chamber empty it is except in exigent circumstances.
Which means in exigent circumstances I don't want to have the chamber loaded, the striker cocked, a trigger finger that can barely stay outside the trigger guard, and an untrustworthy safety. I want it to be positively on safe or off safe. ( I don't plan on carrying it in a crotch position, either. ) :grin:
