No reason to be embarrassed sawdust. That is what range time is for. You have a very valid concern in regards to self-defense situations when we carry pistols which have varying controls and functions. As others have pointed out, lots of range time and practice with whatever you do chose to carry is paramount. I am very comfortable with the 1911 operating system, so that is what I typically carry. When I don't carry a 1911, I opt for an H&K usp which can be carried in a cocked and locked manner, very similar to the 1911. I would recommend keeping your carry set up as consistent as possible for the very reason you describe. I am also a very big fan of the double action revolver. They all operate in the same basic manner, so you can switch between guns and they all operate the same way. There really is no other answer than lots of practice and maintaining consistency with your carry setup. Thanks for you post, it is good food for thought.
