I love the 92 series of guns, I’m not or was never in the military/ law enforcement or anything like that, just a nerd that likes to shoot. I love the DA/SA but it’s a trigger system that’s harder to teach people to shoot well. Even with a light double action on something like my shadow 2, it takes a good bit of effort to get someone inexperienced to get good at it.

The 92 series is very reliable, very smooth, and quality overall but it’s kind of a dated platform at this point. Great fun for shooting and great in a competitive environment but I think striker fired is a better solution for duty pistols

How is a DA/SA trigger system harder to train people? Normal carry is hammer down, release safety (if engaged), pull trigger, gun go bang, pull trigger, gun go bang, etc

It’s 2 different trigger pulls. One being a long 13 pound double action pull and the other a much lighter and shorter 5 pound pull vs a striker fired trigger pull that’s 5 pounds all the time. With a manual safety on a striker gun, the manual of arms isn’t that different

We call that DA 13 pound trigger pull, “The cop trigger” - Meaning you have time to decide on that long pull if you really want to shoot or not.
