1911's are way safer then those dam Glocks.wls wrote:I love my 1911's, but cocked and locked is the only way to carry. Just make sure you have the right holster.

Before Zlongie stopped making and selling holsters, I had several made especially for my 1911's that met my requirement not to interfere with the safety.
If you are carrying a “true” 1911, not the new small ones, you still have a grip safety and trigger to engage before it will fire. Even if the thumb safety disengages in a holster, you still have a very safe pistol. Now with the new, small one with no grip safety, that presents another issue.....now your trigger is your last safety feature.

True, ignorance is the lack of information, stupidity is knowing you're ignorant and not doing anything about it.jeep45238 wrote:There's a difference between stupid and ignorant.Brian D. wrote:M-Q, some people are uneducated, others improperly educated, still others refuse to BE educated.

Not to mention lowering the hammer on a live round is a damn stupid and unsafe maneuver- decockers exist for a reason, and if your firearm doesn’t have one, that’s called a clue to not do said action to me.
It's pretty nice. I'd like to give the USP 9mm a honest try in DA/SA and LEM (you can change the fire control system on them). I had it on a P2000, and it just wasn't for me - but the concept of the trigger was great, worked well, and provided good accuracy.techmike wrote:I have no HK savvy at all, but your LDA description is pretty good.

Thanks for posting that video - the LEM looks like an improvement on the LDA - love that short reset! But I will keep my matched set of Para's....jeep45238 wrote:It's pretty nice.
