I would only carry double action autoloaders now. 1o11s are nice pistols. I just won’t carry single action with one up the pipe.
Curious, why?
That would work, for lots of folks. Given that there are a lot of decent handgun designs from which to choose, another alternative might be "NEITHER!"
;^)
I really like my P220s, functional and reliable. It was because of SIG’s quality in them that all the 1911’s I own are SIGs as well.
They make the only .38 Super guns I’ve owned that cycle everything.
Considering it’s Am Shooting Urinal, the only thing stupider than the question ... is what those morons try to pass off as the answer.
I don’t trust safeties.
Interesting. But a non issue. Even if the Safety lock is off, the grip safety is on, unless in the ha d, and if dropped, the original half cock notch on the sear/hammer is available and on later versions, the FP safety is on unless trigger is pulled. BTW, the SIG P220 has several safeties too.
But I hear you, one must be proficient with the operation of the firearm in hand.
I find myself either with a passive safety only handgun ( Glocks) or a positive/active safety handgun(1911).
I have not encountered a time in routine daily carry or match conditions where I confused what was in my hands vice what was on my mind.
While I never had real world experience in combat with either of those patterns, just the awful M9 of recent military issue.
You’ll be putting gun ‘riters out of business. And the answer is...30-06.
One more point- SIGs are right handed guns. Decocker sucks.
While one can operate ( shoot) one left handed, making one safe is a fumble prone operation require digital gymnastics or two hands...
The CENTCOM Forward armorer tried to issue me an M11, (P226) a long time ago. Had to take an (sorry excuse for a handgun) M9 instead.
Hadn’t considered that... must be my “right supremacy” ;)
Hey, T_S, long time.
Hope yer good.
Good. Nice and dry on a rainy Sunday.
Good. We’re currently between blizzards.
Indeed, but as a lefty, I use my “right” mind...
Granted, I have to add an Ambi safety lock to my 1911s, but I can, whereas the SIG family basically only a stock option....
Then again, my Glocks are ambi...
You live in a bubble. ;)
And in that bubble, the 30-06 and 1911 reign supreme.
