Re: 1911 or Other Semiauto?

One thing that I don't think has been discussed, are the actions between the 2 guns.

The Lc9 is a DAO gun. Like a revolver you have to pull the trigger fully(like a revolver) to fire each round.
The 1911 platform, is SAO, meaning no play in the trigger to fire the next round. Single action.

The two are entirely different. IMO, transitioning from a DAO, to SAO takes some practice and getting used to.

Then there are the DA/SA guns out there, which I am partial to. Eg: Walther PP, Ppk, P-38, Ruger P-95 and a lot of others.

When I took the CHL course, I qualified with a P-95 and used DA firing the first round in each of the firing tests. Had no problem qualifying, as most people don't.

Just my opinion.
