[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 2231199, member: 14057"] I know it should not be this way, but.....I feel way more comfortable handling my pistols that don't have safeties(read Striker Fired) than I do handling my pistols that do have safeties(read 1911). Maybe confident is the word. I am pretty damn sure if something should happen and I dropped my M&P it would take a heck of an miracle for it to discharge. With a 1911, you drop it with the safety off and all is that holding the fully cocked hammer is a sear that is tuned to let go at 3.5 pounds of force?????? I feel like there is a better chance than not that it is going to discharge. This could be because of my lack of training also. I am by no means a professionally trained operator. I am just not as comfortable with the SA pistols as I am a striker fired pistol. My first pistol was a striker fired pistol I bought the week I turned 18. [/QUOTE]
