Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Educate me, carry pistol.

This is the best thread ever. And its only 12 pages.

Not sure how many more times deflave is going to say "Get a shield - with no safety" before the thread dies, but look at it this way:

SA thumb safety = Do you cock it and fire or drop safety and fire in a SHTF?

vs.

DAO = pull trigger.


Nothing saying you can't learn the former scenario with practice, and many people find it easy, and some even had it come natural that they can't see it being an issue.

But step one of concealed carry is get something you can carry concealed, and you may as well get something easy to use without having to rely on months of muscle memory or training.

We all can't be pistolero's overnight, but you can increase your chances of being alive the next day after a puckerfactor event.

Or not.
