[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1759074, member: 1132"] First, an external safety is not a hindrance to a seasoned competitor. Second, DA/SA designs are a hardware solution to a software problem. They will always be at a disadvantage for any fast & accurate shooting, no matter what the venue is. Third, Taurus makes striker fired guns as well, so that isn't the issue. The reason certain guns don't fair well is because of several factors such a poor ergonomics, poorly placed controls, high bore centerline, poor balance through the cycle of the slide, long trigger reset and the very crucial areas of reliability and longevity. Certain guns are simply easier to run hard and fast with minimal training, such as the Glock, M&P, XD. Certain guns work better for experienced and proficient shooters, such as the 1911, CZ-75, revolvers and most DA/SA designs. Ernest Langdon has won with Sigs & Berettas. Max Michel has won with Sigs. No one wins with HK, because they suck in the handling department. Driving an HK hard vs. a Glock or 1911 is like driving a double decker bus hard vs. a Corvette or Porsche. You can continue to irrationally defend the Taurus, but you'd do more good by pointing out the drawbacks to the company, because we're not buying in. :( [/QUOTE]
