Regarding autoloaders, when carrying one of my 1911's, it's C&L. When carrying my Glock 19, well, it's a Glock so one's in the chamber. When carrying my Bersa .380 CC, since the first shot is DA and has such a long pull, I actually don't even keep the manual safety on. I decock the gun with the manual safety (by putting it on), take the safety back off, then pull back the hammer just slightly to initiate the hammer-bar safety block (similar to the half-cock on some newer 1911's).Venus Pax wrote:Until I address their own concerns, which I believe were given out of love, I'll continue to carry my Bersa, as it has a decocker.
Besides, the manual safety on my Bersa, even after working and working it, is still a little too tough for me to feel comfortable with it in being able to flip it off in the heat of the moment (should one come along). Some may not feel comfortable with that unless they've played around with a Bersa, but since the trigger-pull needs to be quite deliberate, I feel quite safe with carrying it that way.
