Now why is that?
Gun magazines tout them as the best LEM weapons on the market??? Are we de-evolving? Can we not handle both single and double action weapons, with safeties?

TS,
I know this was not specifically directed at me, but my rationale for choosing it falls right in the heart of your criticism. As an inexperienced civilian who only shoots a couple hundred rounds a week, I believed it would be easier for me to learn with a constant trigger pull. I hope to attend a defensive shooting course, and thought I would have enough on my plate, without worrying about decockers, safeties, and DA/SA transitions. Maybe I should lay off on the industry Kool-Aid.
My favorite pistol to shoot, and the one that fits my hand best, is the 1911, but again, I don’t think I could train enough to carry it in condition one.
Having said that, I take your point loud and clear, lack of training is never a valid excuse.
