Here is why I asked walther about the AS trigger on their single stack. Wordy, but I promise there is true logic. The first company that makes a DA/SA with a decocker in a slim/pocket gun is going to clean house.
So far we have DOA single stacks/nearly pocketable or fully pocketable...
-Kahr pm series, p series, and mk series. Regardless what most say, it is actually a lot less travel/movement on the pull to fire than a kel tec. I owned both at the same time. Kel tec p3at and pf9 both have longer pulls.
-Kel tec p3at, pf9
-Ruger (copy of p3at trigger)
-Magnum Research micro desert eagle (Kevin) long and hard pull.
-Walther pps basically a hard single action like a glock.
-roughbah RS9 is a long double action.
-Bersa's newly coming single stacks. Out in Nov or Dec?
Single action only we have...manual safeties.
Taurus 709
Sig p380
I though the Taurus would come with the 24/7 DS trigger for decocking to double action. didn't happen.
In a pocket pistol I like a double action trigger. Clearly sells or manufacturing dictates gun buyers do too. More DOA triggers out there.
But once I have shot the long double action, I like single action for accuracy. Walther's AS trigger is revolutionary in this regard.
The Walther P99 AS in double action actually is safer (10lbs pull) then a kel tec, kahr, or ruger in the pocket without a holster as far as pull lb is related. Not that I think its smart, but who here trusts a glock without a holster in their pocket? PPS has basically a glock trigger.
If the P99 AS is the most popular walther, why would walther slim the p99 and put on a DAO trigger? Even if the trigger is 6lb or the H disconnect 10lb trigger it is still a short pull compared to their AS trigger double action pull.
Yes I have shot the PPS. love it. But my question, have you shot a P99 AS? if you had, i bet it wouldn't be a wonder why I asked them
