Its strange to me why most 22's even have safeties on them as both my M41 and m46 have never been used. I strongly believe the vast majority of all 22 owners Never use the safeties on their guns at all. Its because they are Target guns and NO more then that. My 45apc does have a double sided safety on it but I do not carry it except to the range and back in its locked case with a trigger lock on it also.
