I honestly think I just may call tomorrow. Or maybe I'll text Bruce Gray actually.
Almost all striker fired pistols have a trigger safety that blocks the trigger from moving rearward which DA/SA pistols lack.
Cocked and locked. That first shot will most likely be the gamechanger. I want it SA.
As for the no safety crowd....ask yourself how you are going to train yourself up to this super high level af skill, but cannot manipulate the safety before you are ready to pull the trigger...
I disagree that the trigger safety "accomplishes very little if anything."While I agree with you that carrying a DA/SA pistol in SA mode cocked and unlocked is just about the least safe way to carry, I would point out that almost all striker fired pistols are in fact single action without a manual safety and the trigger safety accomplishes very little (if anything) other than giving the false impression of a "safety"
How much good is a "safety" that prevents the trigger from moving unless something is pressing the trigger? How many triggers press themselves? Someone or something has to press the trigger and just about anything that presses a trigger is going to press that "trigger safety" as well. The sole safety advantage to these pistols is that they typically have a longer and somewhat heavier trigger pull than a traditional SA or DA/SA in SA mode.
There ain't no sech animal as a "safe action" or any of the other names invented by the marketing department of various manufacturers. A semiauto pistol is either SA, DA/SA or DAO (I suppose you could assign a fourth category to distinguish between those that are truely DAO and those that claim to be DAO but are some sort of hybrid DAO where the striker is partly cocked by the action then fully cocked by the trigger).
Bottom line, if a semiauto pistol has a second strike capability it is DA or DAO, if not it is SA regardless of what name the manufacturer wants to hang on it.
