Safety vs Decocker for carry?

[PogoJack]

I don't like/need either.  I carry a Tanfoglio Witness in 10mm. It is a DA/SA that has a safety, which I never use and no decocker.

Decocking is fairly easy and safe.  Just put your index finger between the hammer and firing pin and pull the trigger.

Don't forget to take your finger OFF the trigger after the hammer moves forward and rests on your finger/thumb!

What revolvers or semi autos are were you carrying on an empty chamber?

On the revolvers it was a Rossi 357, and a s&w .38sp. I carry all revolvers that way. For the autos I carry without a round in the chamber. I'm glad I started doing that because the new holster I just got automatically moved the safety to off. I had to heat up the holster and remold it to prevent it from doing that.

Also I found out On the Tanfoglio that the slide can be operated in safe mode  while cocked and locked. With the hammer down, the slide won't move.

This is not 1875 those guns are all perfectly safe to carry fully loaded.Modern style revolvers CANNOT be fired without a deliberate pull of the trigger. To each his own I guess. Anything I have on my hip will always be fully loaded and ready to go. Even flipping the safety off on a 1911 is a whole bunch faster than trying to rack in a round when the bad guy is in bad breath range.

Would love to see a P01 with a manual safety - nonOmega.  Then you could REALLY fine tune the trigger with ease, and I feel very comfortable manually decocking with the off hand thumb.

 I have eight 1911's ,never carried with one in the pipe till I got my first CZ now no problem whatsoever with the Decocker,I want to just draw and pull the trigger.

Only DA for a vast number of people.
Because an automatic response could be under very high stress, and must be automatic--requiring No extra thinking about which extra gun feature must be manipulated.

This is why, simply for gun variety (-wanting a first, modern German police gun-), I added the Walther P99 AS to my Sig P6, P225 ('87) and CZ PCR.

The P99 AS' first shot can be either SA or decocked to DA. Not many striker-fired guns have a decocker. That's why this new gun is Not the PPQ.

I'm new at Krav Maga self-defense (age 64). They add stress to some of the training, because an assault -just a reminder- will usually happen with Very little or no warning.
