Im stuck in the mud with you! Single action all the way.
And if your gonna carry for defence, cocked and locked, ready to go.
Single action is my preference but my new employer has determined I'm a Glock man. In .40 at least.
"And if your gonna carry for defence, cocked and locked, ready to go."
Right on, my old 1943 Remington Rand 1911A1 is carried so, with one additional safety, the holster quick release hold down strap is a good snug fit between the hammer and that firing pin.
That 1911A1 is my long time bud of many years, even in near total darkness, it knows where to point and hit when squeezed off.
