Since there's so much controversy about how to carry, DA safety on, safety off, Glocks and XD's with no thumb safety at all.
If all these are OK, would it be OK to carry a Hi-Power, or series 80 1911 cocked and unlocked? They both have firing pin blocks to make them safe.
In the past, some PD's wanted DA autos with spring return decockers so they couldn't be used as a safeties and wouldn't prevent firing in hi stress situations, shouldn't this apply to SA's as well. Both my XD and 1911 have 4 pound triggers, what's the difference?
Why do I think this is going to be controversial?
