I don't own a 1911, but it takes a brave man to say that DA/SA or DAO is the way to go over SAMoJo wrote:I carry what's appropriate for the "mission" usually a DA/SA or DAO auto. The 1911 and revolvers get the nod from time to time. I don't think the brand of gun is as important as the action type.
I generally carry my USP45 cocked and locked (SA), but it is nice that the gun has DA in case I ever find myself hammer down by some stroke of misfortune. It does take some practice operating the safety, but I'm at the point where I don't even think about turning the safety off when I draw.
