Here's my .02 cents.
It would really depend on how experienced you are as a shooter. All single action pistols like BHPs and 1911s have a safety you have to swipe off before shooting. A real liability for untrained hands.
If I felt I was disciplined enough I would choose the Browning, but since I'm not, I choose modern designs with longer initial trigger pulls with no safeties. Personally, I don't want to overestimate my own abilities under intense stress. Even most federal and local law enforcement agencies only allow highly qualified personnel, like SWAT and HRT members, to carry single action autos. (The Browning HP used to be carried by the British SAS). If you feel you can dedicate yourself to a single action auto, by all means.
Its a superb design and will remain a viable choice until the day we have guns that shoots lasers.
And no I'm not an old guy.
