Default Safety off ? BG380
I am interested in getting a BG380 , but I never had a pistol with that type of safety. Can the BG380 be carried with the safety off?

IMO, yes, becauase it's DAO and the safety is a little small and difficult to disengage. I would just carry it with the safety off.

Default From some of the previous posts...
after a few rounds, you can even carry it with the slide off!

I carry it 95% of the time with the safety off.
I only carry it with the safety on when I have it in my pocket without a holster. Mostly when I go to the in-laws house and do not carry my G30

The loooooong 9 pound trigger is your safety, just like a revolver.

So you just rack a round in the slide and holster it? This mode is better known as ready to rock lol.

When it hits the fan, you won't have time to rack the slide...
