Re: Pros and cons of SA and DA

cbunt1 wrote:"Better" is a relative term. I can make a good case for either one :) As with everything, its a matter of how you train, and what your individual mind is comfortable with.

.......shoot everything you can get your hands on, and go with the one that you fall in love with. You can train around any discrepancies and become proficient with whatever trigger type you prefer and have on hand--and in the process, you might just determine that one or the other is better FOR YOU...which is what really matters anyway.
:iagree:

Think about how you plan to carry, what equipment you plan to use, how comfortable/safe you feel about light trigger pulls vs. hard, etc.

Example: I usually carry AIWB. The muzzle is pointed at my femoral artery or my privates all day long. I'm not going to carry a striker fired light trigger gun in this position... Having an external hammer allows me to feel the hammer as I reholster. It's called "riding the hammer". Carrying a DA/SA with decocker allows me to shoot, then decock (return to DA trigger pull) before reholstering. The down side is needing to practice shooting two very different trigger pulls on the same gun. First shot is DA, follow up shots are SA unless I decock.....

So ... Think about how YOU plan to carry. Then look at guns that YOU feel would fit your style.
