[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3208062, member: 43724"] You're splitting hairs. My point is thus: disregarding user error, with the striker charged there is a significantly greater chance it can fire accidentally than on a DA/SA with the hammer uncocked. True or false? Yes, you can drop a DA on the hammer and it could hit with enough force to fire, but that is one spot on the firearm vs dropping a striker fired pistol anywhere and having the striker release. I am not saying that carrying a striker fired pistol is unsafe, I'm saying I prefer that extra level of safety. I know some people carry their DA/SA cocked and locked, which IMO is akin to carrying a striker fired with a round in the chamber. It all comes down to personal preference, I prefer DA/SA for that extra level of safety. And yes, I plan on being careful as I check before I holster if the hammer is down and the safety is on. I also go through once a week (at least) and do a function check on all my pistols, especially my EDC and bedside firearm. [/QUOTE]
