1. Everyday Carry - S&W Shield w/safety.. Reason, I carry one in the pipe and NO safety HOWEVER... I never holster without the safety on... It just scares me to holster a loaded SA firearm without a safety...

2. BUG - Taurus Spectrum in Desantis pocket holster... Reason... DA only...

3. Home Defense / Nightstand gun - Sig SP2022.. Reason - DA/SA with hammer drop safety and rail with O-light attached.... I don't want something that's easily touched off at 3am... I'm fuzzy enough at 6am before my first cup of coffee..

I'm not split at all. I only own three handguns. All three are SA/DA with hammers. One is a Ruger P95, It's my truck gun, My EDC is a Beretta Storm SC. and I have a Beretta P92. Some of them I shoot more accurately than others, but all three have the same manual of arms. The safety is in the same place and the guns behave the same way. I know if the hammer is down and my thumb is resting on it the gun can't go off. I know if I get thrown to the ground or my gun falls to concrete it won't go off. I know when I draw my weapon. the safety will be snicked off before clearing leather. I can trust my weapons. I don't suggest that DA/SA is best for everyone in every situation, but I would advise anyone to carry only what you can trust and rely on.
