To make life Easier....

I'd like to compare Double Action only.

If you havent guessed by now, I'm condidereing my first (underline FIRST) handgun.

Thought about the Beretta 92FS -

- I Like the manual safety, concerned about the de-cocking aspects of single action mode. Decocking levers, like anything else, can fail. So I considered DAO. Simple - No single action, no need to learn two trigger pulls.

Then I thought...

You can never trust a saftey, so why bother? One more thing to go wrong on the weapon, one more thing to remember you did or didn't do.

So I considered the Sig 226 in DAO - By all accounts, a beautiful piece. Rock solid.

Then the voice in my head -

'You're new to this - Keep it simple stupid'

It seems most ND's I read about happen when the mag is released and there's still one in the chamber. A cylinder is easier to inspect - the weapon can be made safe in one motion rather than two.

I know the four laws, and will be taking classes. The only true safety is between my ears, but I'd like to stack the deck so I can enjoy shooting and still be safe.

I'm new so if anything doesn't make sense, I apologize.

Thanks for the advice,
