SA, DA, DA/SA, External Safeties...which is the right answer?!
Added 2025-03-07 14:05:01 +0000 UTCIn this 101 series video we discuss the differences between Single Action, Double Action, SA/DA, Safe Action Triggers and Manual Safeties - which is the right answer for you?

I have always 100% agreed with this policy. I am fine with other safety concepts depending on the firearm, but the owner of the firearm needs to clearly understand safe operation is gun defendant.

2025-03-09 01:14:28 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed this. I'd like to see more in-depth 101 video on 'safetys' and carrying glocks chambered. Something I see with new shooters/friends is high priority on a manual safety, and not fully trusting the trigger safety.

2025-03-08 18:10:19 +0000 UTCThis is a great and informative video. I am a long time shooter with a variety of handguns and found some good information here to share with others. Even though I have been a long time shooter I am newer to carrying and through trial and error have found some good holsters and many holsters that do not work for me. Please consider doing a similar video for holster selection.

2025-03-07 21:59:18 +0000 UTCdid a little of armed security with a sw DA/SA 9mm. wrong gun for the wrong people. I thought it great for others... single stack plasticwonder. the sw and beretta they had were WAY to complicated for untrained personal!

2025-03-07 18:35:02 +0000 UTCDAO or SA. "grew up" with DA/SA but have to say... they are tricky with the two trigger feels. not so thrilled by those anymore. never tried one but the sig DAK triggers sounded good to me. I think revolver do as good as they always did. nothing niche about them. I'd see subcompacts as niche. and then there were the oddballs... hk p7...

2025-03-07 18:23:53 +0000 UTCGreat information. Could you also talk about the need to holster pocket pistols or pistols carried in a bag . I see a lot of people just putting guns loose in purses and stuck in pockets with no coverage of the trigger or hammer.

2025-03-07 16:31:37 +0000 UTCThe striker fired dong safety is is realistically the best option. The counter point is that guns like the CZ-75 and Beretta 92 are so classy and good looking that the inefficiency is totally worth it. Plus I live in one of safest societies that has ever existed. The style over substance actually holds weight in the context that any gun I carry has 99% chance to never be drawn in any defense scenario. DA/SA for the win.

2025-03-07 14:38:54 +0000 UTCI do suspect SA only is a Duning-Kruger trap. โThis thing is only beneficial for exceptional people, so I will get one because I self-identify as exceptional.โ ๐
