It has four safeties. A manual safety, manual firing pin block safety, mag disconnect safety, and mag release safety. I temporarily disabled two of them so it more or less is like any standard pistol. But I can restore them if I need to send it in under warranty. There is a lifetime warranty and the parts are cheap. This pistol is rated for standard velocity ammo only as stated in the owner manual. A steady diet of high velocity ammo runs the risk of cracking the slide or frame. I almost exclusively shoot CCI standard velocity and Federal Auto Match bulk pack in mine. The recoil spring should be changed with a new one after every 1000 rounds or the slide and frame could be cracked by the weakened spring. The recoil spring five pack is cheap so change it.

Great little pistola once you make the necessary modifications. I got well over 1000 rds, (mostly bulk ammo) through mine. The kids make me take it to the range each time.
