Yep, there’s a proud believer in “the cocking shot.” More power to you, whatever works for you is best. I just believe in one trigger pull first to last, in any pistol. Different strokes.
I like some DA/SA pistols just fine but my favorite is either a Browning Hi-Power or the 1911 carried cocked and locked at all times when it is on me.
One time I had to visit a pretty hard core criminal. Actully his whole family were pretty hard core criminals. When I went out to visit him I carried a series 70 M1911 cocked and locked.
Well although this family was hard core criminals they were also pretty good natured and friendly.
When I got inside he immediately spotted my .45 which I thought my jacket concealed pretty well. He had a doberman right beside him. The first words he said was “that dog will get you before you can get that .45 out.”
I got to thinking and I believe I could have beaten the dog but I sure wasn’t going to try it. The consequences would have been too severe if I failed and if I had shot the dog they also would have been a mess.
Still I had practiced to the point where I could grab it, sweep the safety off and aim-fire very quickly.
