[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2822259, member: 796"] Since "very casual or novice" shooters often have trouble with muzzle awareness and keeping the booger hook off the bang switch, I think it is better to train the shooter than try to find an idiot-proof gun. There is no such gun, and the most effective safety is between your ears. Example: Woman with "simple" revolver ignored instructions to fire double action only, and then was standing there talking over her shoulder with the revolver cocked and her finger inside the trigger guard in CHL class. Example: Man with striker fired pistol loaded and in hand in CHL class answers cell phone, switches gun to off hand, and starts talking with finger in trigger guard of pistol. (It IS possible to fail CHL class) Comment: I sometimes recommend the S&W SD9 for someone who wants minimal training, since it is striker fired with good ergonomics, moderate trigger pull, no external safety, rugged and reliable. However, some who have bought them immediately want to put in a kit to lighten the trigger....:screwy: [/QUOTE]
