Re: Which pistol for pocket carry?

I see a lot of people who are averse to carrying little SAO pistols, specifically In the pocket. My p938 has a trigger pull around 7lbs, it is heavier than the pulls of all my other pistols, many of which other people feel completely safe carrying in their pocket. (Smaller glocks, Kahrs, etc) Seeing as how the SAO Sig is drop safe as are all the others, what is the difference? I'm thinking that a single action with a 7 lb trigger is probably as safe as a Glock with a 5.5 lb trigger, even if carried with the safety off...which I wouldn't do but mainly due to conventional wisdom.

So I'm a bit confused and since I own one and carry it a lot I am truly wondering if there is something I'm missing. Is it just the distance that the trigger must travel is less than a traditional striker fired gun? I think the p938 has a firing pin safety but does it operate differently?

I don't want a hole in my leg, so I would appreciate some clarity on this issue.

Thanks,
Surfer
