Xray Alpha - Let's Talk About Rifle Safety

Putting the weapon on safe during a reload is a major issue for some people. They start to play the what if game and apply way more context to this then what I think is necessary.

This video is not all encompassing of every possible situation. Focusing on bolt lock reloads, which I think are the most extreme case, I put them in two categories, moving and stationary. If I’m stationary I typically will not put the rifle on safe, if I’m moving it’s always on safe. For tac reloads or magazine exchanges the weapon is on safe every time. This process has served me well in the past and doesn’t violate any safety considerations in my mind.

Curious to hear everyone’s opinions and your common practices on this.
