I really like my C9 and I understand that it is designed like many other handguns. However, on my Beretta Neos U22, the safety stays engaged while the slide is being moved to chamber the first round. I wish the C9 has a two position safety, position one would simply lock the shear (but not the slide). As it is now I must keep the safety dis-engaged until the chamber is loaded (then as is my habit, I engage it until I am ready to fire).
The main reason for this is that we often take novice shooters to the range and give them their first hands on experience firing a semi-auto pistol. I would be much more comfortable if the gun did not go immediately into Battery upon engagement of the slide.
Again, I have guns that do operate this way and, especially when "helping" a new shooter learn, I really like the shear staying locked. It could be the same safety, but just with two positions?
