That's a really good question !!
Military arms often have no safety devices, particularly military pistols. I think the theory is the military doesn't want anything keeping a soldier or sailor from quickly using the firearm. Police are generally working with civilians and their own people - not an enemy, so they have a duty to be more careful. Thus, police and commercial firearms have safety devices and sometimes more than one. Other considerations may be the environment where a fire arm is kept. Submarine's and ships don't want stray bullets bouncing around inside. Training is always a challenge, but foremost is the requirement to use a weapon effectively and decisively in hostile conditions. That's the take away I got after my years in the US Navy. |
