If your fingers on the trigger, it’s there because you are attempting to shoot the weapon. If that’s not your intent, then it should be indexed outside the trigger guard. That’s independent of single or double action.

The only pistol I’ve actually used in a gunfight was a 1911, and there was no problem with managing the safety, or having the weapon go bang only when I intended.

Having said that, I completely agree with your decision not to carry something you're not comfortable with...that shows maturity and I applaud it.

It's the "under stress" part that is the ley element for me.

Haven't been there. Haven't done that. IDPA is fun, but I'm not worried about anyone shooting back at me. I can work a 1911 just fine under match conditions. But I don't think it's the same as having a violent BG in my face right up close.

2nd best, next to a REAL 1911 :)

I know where you're coming from.

With regard to the Para, I am thinking more along the lines of having the best "street trigger", if I may coin a phrase.
