In a pistol course I took a few years back the instructor brought up something that I hadn't thought of. He said all your defense handguns should work just alike. It avoids confusion at a bad moment.
I think that makes sense. A buddy of mine likes a Walther PPK for his small pistol and a 1911 for his big one. This is an example of what not to do, for the Walther's safety turns upward to fire and the 1911's turns downward. I can see how this could be a problem if you are jolted straight from a sound sleep into adrenaline dump at 3 AM. Heck, I can see it being a point you could muff even if only moderately terrified.
What do you think? There are various families of firearms in which you can get various sizes and calibers and one manual of arms: DA revolvers, lever rifles, DAO autos, etc.
Do you think this an important issue? (Hope this isn't a duplicate of something already discussed. I looked around and didn't see a thread about it.)
