[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1949459, member: 1132"] I agree with the safety issue [U]for most people[/U]. I don't agree on the 1911 and the difference between now and the 70's regarding how to use one is the diffenence between a 5 gallon bucket and a thimble. IF, you put the training time in on the platform, it's still one of the best you can use. My duty gun is a G-21SF with an Accurate Iron makeover and Surefire X300 with DG switch. My most often carried CCW gun is a 5" S&W 1911PD with Crimson Trace grips. I shoot 100% with either one during semi-annual quals, but the speed and grouping of the 100% with the 1911 is noticeably better. As the OP has mentioned, switching gun and action types can lead to issues and concerns. I wouldn't recommend it for most folks. It' is best to stick with one type. I happen to shoot competition at a pretty high level with DA revolvers, Glocks and 1911's, so it isn't nearly the issue for me that it would be for most. The Glock is a two stage trigger type, with a light 1st stage, then a definite wall and a heavier 2nd stage with not much travel. A DA combat revolver has a long single stage trigger that's pretty much the same pull weight all the way through. The closest auto actions to a DA revolver are the Beretta 92D and Kahr Arms guns. The Glock trigger is quite a bit faster, but some people shoot the rolling DA action of the revolver more consistently. I emphasize some people though. Overall, law enforcement qualification scores increased significantly when switching from revolvers to autos of all types. [/QUOTE]
