Re: Converted my trusty Beretta PX4 into an LTT PX4
When re-holstering it is absolutely not a problem with a sop of decoking and putting your thumb on the hammer when holstering. The gun cannot shoot if you do that.
When you draw the gun you are in the same position be it a 1911, a striker fired gun or a hammer fired gun, when you put your finger on the trigger after a conscious decision to shoot.
With a 1911 the safety comes off during the presentation on to target. From there on it is the same for them all with the added bit that the hammer fired gun has a long DA pull that is heavier than the pull on a single action gun and a striker fired gun.
For the first shot with the PX4 it is like shooting a revolver.

I should have been more correct and say "the DA hammer fired gun has a long DA pull".

Re: Converted my trusty Beretta PX4 into an LTT PX4
I had my finger on the trigger precisely because I thought I did need to shoot him. Guy was close and closing with a baseball bat. I had no idea that I was staging the trigger and I'm not sure that I would if in the same situation again. Not a criticism of the blaster in question but a preference of mine. I also do the hammer control thing on holstering and it's one of the reasons I choose to carry an SA/DA.
