So until recently i’ve Only shoot revolvers and Glocks. Now I am getting into other brands.
So I wondered: what is dangerous or bad about carrying it cocked with safety off?
I mean: to make a Glock go off it needs a trigger pull of roughly 5.5 pounds.
To make the Sig P938 go off it needs its hammer cocked + the trigger to be pulled and I read its 6-9lbs depending on the website.
So.... What’s the difference between a Glock with 1 in the chamber vs a Sig P938 with 1 in the chamber, safety off and cocked? It seems they both require roughly the same trigger pull.
The only thing I can think of is perhaps if the hammer gets snagged and thus falls down - will that cause it to fire? Or does it have a safety in the hammer area that prevents it from firing unless the trigger is pulled?
Assuming that’s the case then wouldn’t it would similar to carrying a Glock with a loaded chamber? The Sig seems to have a heavier trigger pull even though it’s SAO.. And I know the trigger pull DISTANCE is supposedly less on the Sig P938 then a standard a Glock at 5.5lbs, so maybe that’s why?
Im new to anything non Glock. Also new to hammer fired semi autos. So forgive my stupidity.
