Knobby45,

Typical Scouse exaggeration on the 20lbs! Just did not want to mention the Glock trigger of consistent 5 lbs, and tiny reset!

Glock is a bad word in OPD.

You say you have more than one DA/SA Pistol, the rounds a Police Officer typically fires is not the amount gun guys and gals fire. OPD not to bad.

So why complicate an action requiring life and death decisions, with a system of double/single, decocking lever/hammer? It can not help.
I have read so much of knock down power, energy transfer, temporary cavity, on these forums, to last me a lifetime, my take?

Bullet makes hole, you bleed and die, or not... One minute....One hour. Or bullet hits brain, top couple of inches of spine, done.

Anything that complicates the ability to put accurate, especially the first one!
rounds out against an assailant is not good, Police or not.

Sorry about my English, you should hear my accent!
