Well you are right! Just my opinion. I have some experience with the 1911. Love the way it points and shoots. I own a Combat Commander. I've carried for allot of years and since I learned and trained on revolvers that is what I carry. Don't trust my self to remember the safety and envy those who do. Just don't think it makes sense . I would probably be like the Leo whos finger turned white squeezing the trigger under stress and no bang cause he didn't release the safety.i prefer point and shoot . [/QUOTE said:There is a lot to be said for a point and shoot firearms. BUT in my opinion training until your can manipulate the battery of arms on your chosen weapon without thinking ( muscle memory)will negate any advantage of one design over another when strictly speaking about what it takes to put it into action. Now if you want to minimize your training yet still remain as effective as possible, with regard to putting your firearm into action, then yes a point and shoot firearm is best. The cop you mentioned needed to practice more or change is firearm.
