The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - DA/SA Hammer-Fired vs. Safe-Action Striker-Fired: I Give Up

JimmyR · June 30, 2013, 12:05 AM

I'v experimented with a lot of different actions in my short gun-owning career- striker fired (Kahr), DAO revolvers (S&W 642), DAO autoloaders (beretta px4 D/Sig 250), SA/DA revolvers (Ruger Sec Six/S&W Model 19), and finally decided that carry guns are gonna be my SA/DA autoloaders (CZ-75, Makarov, PA-63, Beretta Tomcat, etc). I just feel so much more comfortable shooting them, and am faster and more accurate.

That said, i still love my revolvers, and once I get a new J-frame, it will get added as a deep CC/BU gun, and my Model 19 and future Sec Six (bought one, sold one, kicked myself, and am not getting a new one) will be on bedside duty for a while.
