Quite frankly, I prefer DA/SA semi automatic pistols for serious work:
.
And 1911s for range enjoyment. Best trigger ever!
*sigh* I love gun porn.
Who built that 1911? Nice.
I wouldn’t have a DA/SA as a gift. Having a long trigger pull, then a short one is a mess. I grew up on a Colt and for several years shot speed matches and shot about 200 rounds a day. I never got used to having two different trigger pulls, and wouldn’t own one. I have carried a Glock 30 for years and shoot it well, although it was different enough it took me a few rounds to appreciate it.
And we all know how flawlessly those brains work don’t we? Maybe they could just leave the safety off while others have an option, There’s just something about having an obstacle between a projectile and the family jewels that intrigues me.
