[QUOTE="bilboben, post: 887008, member: 8432"] Preference, coming from experience, contribute to a greater level of comfort. I am comfortable using/carrying all forms of pistol actions with a loaded pipe. I am more comfortable with one form over another though, because of personal exprience. Example, in the army, I had to carry a loaded Colt 1911, it had a very smooth manual safety (from the years of wear before me), I would not be as comfortable wearing that in cc because most cc rigs do not cover the safety. If the safety shifts on a 1911, without your knowledge, then you only have the one safety left (trigger covered), with a spring tightened hammer. The Army rig I used, had a flap over the top which gave me more piece of mind. I have carried a 1911 in cocked and locked both open carry and concealed, but feel more comfortable with the additional safeties from other actions. I feel comfortable with the trigger safety of a dao, but I prefer to see a hammer move to know the gun is functioning, (hence a preference for sa/da over dao striker fired). I have carried guns for many years (not a LEO), all types and can tell you, I have preference for one style and therefore am the most comfortable with one style over the other. In the end, we carry for piece of mind, so get to a level of comfort where you have that piece of mind. It will take a lot of practice, but more importantly practice on the "action" you like the best, and that will take a search; touching, holding, shooting many types of platforms and knowing how each works.
