Thanks for the info.
Actually it was from watching YouTube where some say being able to hold the hammer down would be safer when reholstering. Any ND would be from my error pulling the trigger that’s for sure. I guess it all boils down to practice and training. Every little extra feature on a gun to increase perceived safety in the end can’t make up for that. I can see being over reliant on safeties, and holding down hammers etc and the one time a safety isn’t engaged or the thumb isn’t on the hammer is when I get shot in the jewels, or someone else gets shot.
And you are right, the p30 does look fat and bulbous lol, that’s why I wanted to go grip the thing, but in the end I do really want the P365x, and it’s cheaper to boot.
I feel this is a really big responsibility I am undertaking, and the old-man conservative risk aversion side of me is really going into over-drive looking into everything I can do to cover my bases.
Thanks for input guys, I’ll get the Sig and use the saved money for training and ammo.
I understand your concern in safely holstering a striker fired pistol which sits right over your junk pile my man.
But please realize, hundreds of thousands of millions? Of people are EDC’ing pistols right now? At this very moment?
Shouldn’t the news be filled with reports of them blowing their peckers off? I mean, wouldn’t that be good for the anti- crowd to know?
It’s not happening like that.
Think about this for a moment. Which sounds more risky of an accidental discharge?
1. In a heated moment, you pull your double action hammer fired HK, and shoot several rounds into a bad guy.
You are ready to re- holster, but the hammer is back in single action mode? You forget to drop the hammer with your thumb de- cocker and take your finger out of the trigger guard. When you actually go to re- holster, you put your thumb on the back of the hammer to holster like you do, but while you feel the hammer with your thumb, in that heated moment, you can’t tell or feel whether that hammer is down or cocked?
Then you holster a cocked pistol with a hammer? If your finger is in the trigger guard, and you pull that trigger?
No sir, you have to remember and train to do what with that HK!
A. Take your finger out of the trigger guard.
B. Flip the de- cocker lever with your thumb.
C. Re- holster the HK.
Now, let’s go through the exact same heated moment with your Sig P365X?
You pull your Striker fired Sig in a heated moment. And while there is a bullet in the chamber, the pistol isn’t in full c0ck. Why? Because a striker fired design, allows it to stay only partially c0cked until the trigger is purposely pulled to the rear c0cking it and firing it right when you need it and want it to fire.
So you point your Sig at the bad guy and fire several rounds? You are ready to re- holster now. So you remember to take your finger out of the trigger guard, because you trained to do that just like the HK.
However, the second your finger comes off the trigger and out of the guard? Your Sig goes back to rest? It’s not fully cocked anymore? And there is a falling block sitting between the firing pin an bullet? It isn’t capable of going off accidentally now, unless you put your finger back in there and pull the trigger?
Put your finger back in the HK and pull the trigger while the hammer is still c0cked.
The only thing you have to remember is your trigger finger with the Sig? But with the HK, you will have to remember your trigger finger AND the de- cocker?
Why be more concerned with a striker fired and think there is more risk of a discharge of forgetting to take your finger out of it’s trigger guard?
I would suggest sir, you should be just as worried of forgetting to swiping down that thumb de- cocker on the HK AND forgetting to take your finger out of its trigger guard?
Striker fired? Worry about just your finger.
Double action hammer? Worry about your finger and your thumb?
Train to NOT put your finger in either UNTIL you want to fire either.
Train to take your finger OFF after you have fired with either.
And I promise you, you will never accidentally discharge EITHER.
I have trained literally thousands of people with striker fired mostly, but quite a few hundred with hammer fired pistols. I’m telling you, the hammer fired myth of being more inherently safer then a striker fired pistol is a MYTH! A myth I tell you.
I have seen accidental discharges with both types. None of them were because of them were because of the pistol’s myths.
All of them were because of the idiots behind them not following their training.
