DA/SA Transition
Added 2020-07-06 20:06:17 +0000 UTCHello Tier II and Tier III,
Got a lot of questions since Patreon started about training the double action and single action transition. Lots of pistols with this classic operating system Sig, Beretta, HK, CZ and a ton of other models.
Basically, you have to drill over and over again shooting that double action shot.
Most of the gun brands listed above also make single action (SAO) variants of the same model or were also designed to be carried cocked and locked like a 1911 *verify in owners manuals for each model.
This system requires more training which is part of the appeal of the Striker Fired or Safe actions in systems like the Glock, M&P, XD and a ton of other polymer systems. Having one trigger pull is an advantage for my money. Also the striker fired stuff tends to be a bit easier on the wallet.
New Fundamentals Video coming at you this week.
*As always, adhere to all firearms safety rules and range commands at your facility. For more info on safety, see https://www.nrablog.com/articles/2015/7/the-rules-of-nra-gun-safety/

2020-07-13 03:17:22 +0000 UTCI want one of those! More of a nostalgia thing for me though.

2020-07-13 03:16:01 +0000 UTCYou guys make such different content, but being in TN I can't help but want to see you and Hickock45 do some range shooting together.

2020-07-12 23:50:57 +0000 UTCThat’s why I think this patreon or content is good for all levels of shooters and those interested in EDC. Shawn Ryan seems to be able to communicate it in a way where it’s easy to understand and thorough. Plus it’s good place where people of all levels can ask questions and not feel like someone is going to pimp them at any moment. I never knew it was a question. Working in healthcare, I think it should be a PSA for gun owners to not carry cocked unless the platform is designed to do it safely.

2020-07-10 20:20:57 +0000 UTCGreat video, I see the question on whether or not it's safe to carry cocked on a lot of forums from new shooters and this explains it better than I could.

2020-07-10 11:32:37 +0000 UTCI bought a P226 mk25 and love it. But yeah, those DA/SA transitions.....

2020-07-10 07:10:22 +0000 UTCSig over Beretta in my opinion. DA is smother. If you have to go DA, I like the P226.

2020-07-10 05:46:39 +0000 UTCThat's crazy! I think it's that they want you to be very sure, 12lbs sure if you're going to pull that trigger. Is it one of the larger security companies? I did see that when I was training there was one security guy who had a DA S&W; now I might know why LOL.

2020-07-08 19:24:25 +0000 UTCQuestion: I work security in Misspuri and we have to carry a DA pistol of 40 caliber or 9 mm in semi auto or a 38 in revolver. I am looking to get a 9mm. I have been testing out the Sig and the Beretta and I like them both equally. Does anyone have a preference and why?

2020-07-08 19:02:30 +0000 UTCPretty much my thoughts on DA/SA. That 6906 will be a good heirloom piece as the years pass though. They don't make em like they used to. I'd still love to get a P226 some day just for history.
Shawn
2020-07-08 16:33:12 +0000 UTCDepends on the operator. I'm a striker fired guy.
Shawn
2020-07-08 16:15:43 +0000 UTCLocally if you work security you are required to care double action, but I love my single action Smith and Wesson M&P 40.
James Anderson
2020-07-08 00:52:28 +0000 UTCJust curious, could you carry what you wanted in the agency, or did they issue you a standard sidearm?

2020-07-07 20:25:11 +0000 UTCI used to own and carry a d/a 6906; but ever since switching to Glock I've never looked back. With the safety mechanisms in place with striker fired S/A pistols I'm more comfortable during carry and I shoot better with them. I guess there are pros and cons to both, it's a matter of personal preference and what you train with. While D/A may be fun to shoot at the range with, it's not my 1st tool of choice for protection.

2020-07-07 18:36:23 +0000 UTCThat whole prepping the trigger stuff sounds like too much to think about for drawing your weapon. I'm just too lazy to be doing that shit. Thanks for the info.

2020-07-07 00:57:57 +0000 UTCDo you guys stay with DA/SA or do you switch between striker?

2020-07-06 23:06:05 +0000 UTCJohn I agree. My favorite is a(n) SA/DA full size although not the best for concealed carry. Out hunting or on long road trips I feel very comfortable with it. I dont mind that initial DA trigger pull but thats with practice. Working on modernizing the fleet per se. Its not a good trigger pull for my wife, she likes the striker fire. Have not heard that tip, also will not be able to un-hear it. hahahaha

2020-07-06 22:04:45 +0000 UTCWorking from home, I've been doing dry fire a lot on my USP; being a dumbass civi, glad to know even the professionals have to practice! One tip I heard that... I'm never going to be able to unhear that's been helping me is to imagine that you're pulling your finger back against the trigger to pat yourself on the nose. For what I've been doing out of boredom, I think the DA is easier to more consistently practice. -shrug-
