That's a pretty nice gun. The example I shot had a gritty trigger I didn't like in DA, but once in SA I liked that thing a lot.
About 6 years ago I decided I wanted SA/striker triggers only for my carry/home defense guns and settled on the S&W M&P line of pistols for training, competition and carry. With the Apex Tactical aftermarket triggers they feel very much like typical SA triggers, just a little heavier. Now any gun I pick up whether it's a 1911 or a M&P, they operate fundamentally the same. I still have a few DA/SA guns, but I don't carry any of them anymore. Mostly I just take them to the range for some fun every couple of months. The only exception is my SIG P229. |

I agree. I keep the safety "on" on my .45 (the Springfield). It is on my nightstand but I -over the years - have practiced releasing the safety a thousand times. If need be, it would be second nature to me. Of course, my EDC (the P365) has no safety - no problem. |

Due to my complete dislike of trigger pulls associated with the DA only pistols that are all the craze now I only own a couple and they are not home defense guns, let alone carry guns. My three carry guns are 2 1911s and a .45 H&K USP Compact (one of the 1911s doubles as my home defense weapon). The H&K is a DA/SA and I carry it condition 1 just like my 1911s. This is what I’m accustomed too; disengaging the safety is just routine to me.

Cocked and locked is the only way to carry a 1911.

Thats what I hear.
I only carry out boating on the Missouri river at night for flatheads. Ive ran across some strange shit at night along the banks of the Muddy. Especially on the Council Bluffs Iowa side. |

But recently I went to a S&W M&P40C for that sort of thing because it still operates much like a 1911/SA gun, won't rust, doesn't have a safety to worry about, has a rail to mount a light on and it's dark much of the time I fish. And finally the gun costs about $400 so if I really screw up and drop the thing in the river or lake, I'm not out $1,000+ like I would be if I dropped one of my 1911s. |

Nice piece. Judging from the pic your hands are big enough that I don't think you'll have an issue with the grip size. Clean and lube that bitch, stuff her full of 9s, and clear her throat a few hundred times.
