I never said it was unsafe. it's just a wee bit more complicated. If God forbid I ever really need my gun, I want a simple point and click interface.wgoforth wrote:Wondering why you would think this particular SA would be less safe as long as holstered? Consider that it has a safety, it has an 8lb trigger pull. If the Smith and Wesson Bodyguard has an 8 lb trigger pull though double action, and the P238 has 8lb trigger pull, how is it less safe? It also has a hammer safety so it is not going to go off unless the trigger is pulled. Note this has something I know of no other SA having... the ability to rack the slide to chamber or unchamber a round WITH the safety engaged. Too, the LCP/P3AT will not lock back on last round as will the P238. Don't get me wrong, LCP is fine, just wondering why you would feel this particular SA would be unsafe as carry (since it is made for that purpose).Rex B wrote:I have the P238, and a LCP. While the sig is more accurate and controllable, and has big night sights, I carry the LCP mostly.
Why? Because it disappears in my pocket, and it's DA. I believe a carry pistol needs to be DA or DA/SA, unless you practice weekly with it.
And since I pocket carry, I don't do cocked and locked. So with the Sig it's draw-(opt)safety off- cock-fire. With the LCP it's draw-fire.
Maybe you can do SA in one fluid motion, but I know I can't.
