Has too many bells and whistles (De-Cocking lever) that aren't needed

Not the DAK. It's DA only

True, paul:

Though, I always fall back on the old adage:

"If you are going to carry a piece. Carry a F^%&*#ing piece!" One that will knock whomever you have in your sights down. Wherever you hit them!

The 9mm hasn't lived up to that adage (excluding head shots). The jury's still out on the .40 caliber.

The only handgun that has been and can again be mass produced to fill the bill is Ol' Slabsides!

Even with its backstrap grip and manual safeties. It's still the only pistol I'm comfortable and confident to carry cocked and locked.

Jack.
