What action style do you prefer in a carry gun?

[355sigfan]

I prefer Single action cocked and locked carry followed by Glocks Safe action and a distant third a Tradition Double action Single action.

Why do you have so many options for the Glock-style action?

 

[Eskimo Jim]

where's the option of us revolver fans? (nt)

[Sean Smith]

Single action C&L is my preference for most things. But a smooth DA revolver trigger with a pull weight down in the single digits (say 8 pounds) isn't bad either.

 

[clipse]

Double action/ Single action for me. Single action cocked and locked would be a close second.

[Marko Kloos]

SA Cocked & Locked, or Glock safe-action trigger, both for their uniform trigger pull and 5#-ish pull weights. Next preference would be a well-tuned revolver DA trigger.

 

[popbang]

How about single action revolver where do I put that? And no I am not kidding.

 

[Mike Irwin]

If this is strictly semi-autos, it should probably be in the semi-auto form.

I prefer, however, a double-action revolver.

 

[OF]

Single-Action, followed by Glock-style 'Safe Action' (which others have mimicked now). I despise DA/SA, although it's better than nothing.
A DA-only would have to be pretty fantastic to win me over.

END

Because some may prefer an 8 or 12 pound revolver like pull on the Glock. I don't. Sorry about the revolver absence. I had a brain fart and thought I was in the autos section.

Moderators please move to the auto forum. Sorry about that.

I voted "cocked and locked" but I cheat. I have a Beretta with a D model spacer in it so I can carry cocked with the safety on.

 

[ajacobs]

squeeze cocker! or single action for auto's

 

[P95Carry]

For autos ... D/A - S/A ... instance P series, Bersa, Mak etc ..... doubt I'd carry my 1911 .... too old to really gain the adequate and safe familiarity with C&L.

 

[tc300mag1]

I carry a double action/single action or a revolver

 

[Greybeard]

Lots of dry firing and trigger work on S&W 340 DAO 5-holer got it to virtually equal Kahr PM9 "elite" DAO trigger. Both fairly long, but smooooth.

 

[cratz2]

I would rate a traditional DA/SA as my least favorite... I'm a 1911 guy through and through, but the more I experience what I consider carry DAs (such as Kahrs, SIGs and Glocks) and other consistant pull trigger guns with no manual safeties, the more I tend to think that for a civilian carrying, they may be the best overall choice.

But I love my crisp 1911 and single action CZ triggers.

 

[boing]

Wow...I'm surprised to say my answer is DA/SA, not C&L.

Has more to do with the "administrative handling" of my daily CCW routine than actual shooting, though.

Damn 228 has gotten to me again.

 

[Gordon Fink]

Well, double-action/single-action is what I seem to shoot the most accurately. I’m sure single-action would be just as good, if not better, but I wouldn’t be comfortable carrying a single-action pistol.

Now, what I would like to see is a “safe-action†Kahr with a short trigger reset. That should be a very accurate, easy-to-carry combination.

[Watch-Six]

Cocked and locked 1911. DAO ok for a BUG. Watch-Six

 

[krept]

ditto on the squeeze cocker

cheers

 

[71Commander]

SA cocked & locked.

 

[STEVE M]

Voted don't care because at various times I carry a DAO rev. a DA/SA

auto, a C&L 1911, &/or a Gock with NY trigger (8lbs.). It's not about the

action type so much as about the mission of the gun.

 

[HardCOR]

I vote Sprinfield XD as best combat action. I don't own one , but I can rent one at the range and shoot it better that any gun I own. I can shoot 1911's better than anything, but I don't like C&L carry. Right now I carry a Bersa, but what I really want is the XD.

 

[New_comer]

DA/SA with C/L option...

Hey, that's how my USP works...
