1) Avoid wearing. This is obvious. To protect the fire blue on the knob.
2) Not really necessary. It's not a daily carry gun, I never play guns with a living round in chamber (except in range). While in range, I never holster a gun with living round in chamber. This is a big operational difference between a historical user and a collector user, I know, but ... I am not a historical user. C96 safety was much more important for its historical user.

Playing safety lever is limited on inspection stage, beside checking its number, also checking it's working as expected or not.. after that,, mostly, untouched.

I bet P38 collectors being same.
