Dont get me wrong. Theres a thing wrong with pistol with a manual saftey. My duty weapon for 20 years was a Colt Combat Commander. When you train with it and train with it, and train with it some more, the manual saftey becomes second nature, you manipulate that saftey without thinking about it. I guess what I'm trying to say is, that is a person has trained extensively with a pistol with a manual saftey, and doesnt feel comfortable with a pistol without one, then use a pistol with one.My son was trained to use a manual safety and can't get his mind around a gun not having one.
excellent statement. Plus, it's far easier to teach someone the manual of arms for a non manual saftey/decocker/fill in the black added device. As much as i like the 1911 platform, i'd not carry one for a duty weapon. I might carry one concealed but i'd prefer a platform more along the xd/glock/mp for that...simple under stress...just point and shoot, and the trigger will be more forgiving to fingers amped up on adrenaline.The current duty type weapons with no external safety were the replacement for a double action revolver. You just pull the trigger and boom. I understand that the triggers are probably going to be lighter on the semi auto, but the main safety is between the ears. Negligent discharges can be avoided...
