I think I understand. But when I selected my handgun (P95) the most important after reliability was the Safety position, and ease of operation. I didn't wan't no tiny button to push, but a lever I could switch up immediately after clearing the holster and long before the gun is on a target.G.C.Montgomery wrote:
KB Craig hit some of the big complaints. I have others.
For instance, I also find that slide-mounted safeties get in the way of manipulating the slide when reducing stoppages. Slide mounted safeties aren't in an ideal position for all shooters to operate with their strong hand thumb. I finally decided it was a truly stupid design when I noticed students with smaller hands had to reach over with their support hand to decock pistols with slide mounted control levers. It's also possible to have this problem with frame mounted levers but you'd have to have hands like those of a small child.
I never really cared whether or not decocking is a two handed affair or not. as long as I can get that safety off when I really need it.
I need to look at some other guns more closely.
Thanks for the input.
