[QUOTE="Blue Heeler, post: 3521316, member: 46613"] I would agree that whatever you like and works for you should be what is in your hand. Not that having an external safety is good, bad or even indifferent ... it’s what works for the person with said gun in hand. I am very comfortable shooting DA/SA. When I turned 21 in 1978, the first gun I bought was a SIG in the form of a Browning BDA (below) in 45ACP. My current carry guns are either a SIG P220 that I bought in 2003 or a SIG P225A1 ... both of which Robert Burke has worked his magic on. Like most here, for the full sized (non-mouse gun backup) I have carried a lot of different handguns ... single action guns like 1911’s and the Browning Hi Power. SA/DA guns like the SIGs, a custom tuned S&W 3906 and a German Walther PPK/S. Carried a HK P7 for a few years. Carried a (Gen 4) Glock19 which despite being a superb combat handgun, I just seemed to be drawn back to the SIGs. But never once have I ever pulled a gun out and as I am drawing, thought about how the gun works ... like whether there is a safety or not. [ATTACH=full]193164[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
