Neither does a revolver, but any range that allows any weapon without an

The DAO pistol trigger safety has universal acceptance as a "safety,"
thus the wide range of models and calibers employing the trigger
safety.

Please name one range that denies Glock, S&W M&P, or Sig DAK users
shooting privileges.

When I used to shoot pistol competition (Combat - IDPA, IPSC), we'd practice
taking the safety off during the draw.

Wait -- you fired "combat" competition with safety on heading into the
scenario? Were you shooting a 1911? Otherwise, so many models have
such cumbersome safeties (the Berretta 9mm M9, for example), that it's
only useful as a sop to the easily frightened.

If you did as you say, you'll know that Jeff Cooper advocated cocked
and locked, Condition 1 carry with a 1911. It doesn't get any closer
to ready to fire than this setup.
