That's an excellent perspective on this case. Unfortunately for me, I never bought a firearm with that anticipation; to me it's important to learn exactly how it behaves and practice with it a lot, because I want its use to be reflexive. When a person needs a gun, they're unlikely to have the luxury of trying to remember which way to push the safety, or what its POI is compared with its POA. The only thinking needed should be whether to pull the trigger or not, which is quite enough.
