I've had my BD since 2004. For years I was a diehard proponent of decockers.

I finally got my dream gun last year, a 97b...which has a safety. I soon realized that a SA first shot improved my competition scores, and I started training for C&L carry.

I now realize the B model is more versatile. Carry it hammer down or in SA mode. All you have to do is carefully lower the hammer.

BTW the BD model has more complicated internals, so a trigger job is more involved.

Some day I'd love to have a polished stainless 75b, the ONLY gun i would ever sell my BD for.
