"....why are you using the safety other than to decock the pistol?." [EIGHTYDEUCE]

Well with the Taurus you have the option of carrying hot chamber cocked & locked, just flip the safety down and get a quick accurate SA shot off. For some folks, and many 1911 shooters, this is a big deal, which in an emergency could mean the difference between getting home or taking a ride in an ambulance.

"Just use it to decock the pistol like the Sig and then switch it off. The first shot will be a long double action first shot like the Sig."

I like Sigs a lot, but I like my 1911 Sig best of all.
