    Not really, because she's not actually doing anything when she moves her thumb there. Nothing on the gun is moving (and there's nothing to move). Unless she normally trains with a different gun she wouldn't have any kind of muscle memory to turn off a lever safety that might be located there.

      Plus, I don't think I've ever seen a pistol with a manual safety that operates from that side; most are designed to be pushed to the left from the right with your right-hand trigger finger before putting that on the trigger. If they have one of those at all.

            Most of them, I thought? Left side behind the slide catch.

            I think I remember something about them having to move the safety to the right side to satisfy some military contract or another, though. (Looked it up, they made it ambidextrous instead of left-side only.)

        Your link doesn't go to a specific frame in the video, but I don't know what she's doing or if it has any intent behind it.
