"I would also point out that if you need to restrike, the hammer is exposed and it takes little time to recock a 1911."

LOL...aren't you the one bitching about how horrible it is to have to readjust one's trigger finger between a DA and SA shot? You can re-cock a 1911 without shifting your grip on the weapon? You must have some long-ass thumbs.

Hence my comment about *needing* to restrike. I don’t see the need and go with the “Round didn’t work? Discard it and load another, don’t f**k around with trying to get it to work because if you do you will die” school of thought - which is espoused by many combat vets and experienced cops.
