There is too much going on when you're watching the muzzle of a gun coming to bear on your chest to be trying to remember if your gun has a safety or not, or is it single or double action.
If I remember correctly John Bianchi, many years ago, had what
he called "Bianchi's Law". I am paraphrasing, but it meant to
always carry the same gun, same holster, same location on your
belt, etc.....muscles have memory.

Iggy's statement is true. There is no time to remember which
gun you are carrying. Mushin is a word in the martial arts
that means instantaneous reaction without thought.

Yogi Berra said "you can't hit and think at the same time."

Wyatt Earp said your muscles must be faster than thought.
