Make the jump to see a close-up photo of the Ruger SR9c’s safety. HINT: it’s the small switch at the back of the gun.

Do you know how to properly grip an M1911? Strong hand thumb rides the safety to keep it off while firing. This also allows you to switch the safety off as you grip the gun. The Ruger has a similar safety mounted in a similar location. The gun isn't poorly designed, you are just gripping it wrong.
1911-style safeties are designed for combat. They're big and they stand proud of the gun. This thing is like a Chicklet. It's small in every direction. As I pointed out in the video, you can train to accomodate the SR9c's safety, but would you? More to the point, would the average buyer? It's too easy to ignore.
