"Well, sometimes" depends on the gun. On a Glock there's only typically slight amount of pre tension. Other brands may be similar or more aggressive to the point of being nearly single action and under more tension at rest.I get it. It is odd. But if you think about striker fired, the spring is under tension just waiting to go off with a trigger pull. Same thing essentially. You just can't see it
I was thinking the same thing....I mean yeah it's a crutch but it would be a pretty reliable mental crutch.... at that point it's literally not possible for the hammer to go down as long as the gun is holstered.Maybe a leather holster with a retention strap that crosses under the hammer?
Give me a couple of hours and I'll be half cockedThat’s why my carry gun is a Glock. The striker is half cocked.
I don't like it, either, though I would take some comfort in the grip safety of an actual 1911. The lack of a similar device on a 938 has given me pause. It's probably not fair to say that's why I don't have one, but it was a factor. I carry a P30SK hammer down like you carried the Beretta, but then again, I'm a DA revolver guy. The DA pull is no bother at all. I laugh at reviewers who talk about how heavy it is. Wimpy trigger finger syndrome. I don't actually know whether the Ruger LC9s I pocket carry is fully cocked or partial like a Glock. (Edit: apparently it is a fully-cocked design.)I know, I’m a pussy, gay, etc. I’ve been carry an Sig 938 and it’s a SAO so the hammer is cocked if a round is chambered. Even with the safety on, I’m very “aware” of it and it makes me nervous.
I feel the same way about 1911s and any other gun with a hammer. I carried a Beretta for years, but always decocked it.
I know I’m worrying about something foolish, but there you have it.
When my 1911 is cocked and locked there is no way for it to go off unlessThat’s why I liked the Beretta. When decocked there is no possible way to make it fire. Too big for CC though.
OP needs maxi pads and a reminder that the sticky side goes against the underwater.Would seem a wheelgun is in the OP's future.
Even if the safety was bumped off....still have to engage the grip safety and pull the trigger for it to go bang.I used to carry a "3 Kimber 1911 in a Milt Sparks Ultra Carry for a while. I stopped because the cocked and locked method always niggled at the back of my mind and it made me uncomfortable. I bumped the gun a few times and was always cringing on whether it knocked the safety off. It was always no but I had to check to make sure which bothered me. I finally just changed my carry gun as I just couldn't get used to it.
You are not alone.
No……..This. Only real difference is the concealed striker is less prone to outside forces....illegibly
Thank you. Whenever I heard the 238/938 called a mini 1911 it goes up my ass sideways.*On a side note, the Sig 938 Is NOT a mini 1911, and should not be trusted as a 1911*
*Edit*not saying Sig938 is not safe, just not as safety redundant as a 1911*
Did you have a 1st gen? The only issue was with the striker and afaik was fixed way back when it first came out. Mine is a 2019 and I’ve carried it daily since then. I don’t see how it can be dangerous with the trigger safety plunger, striker safety block, and even added safety lug on the striker in the wild event the striker lug shears off. Thanks for the mags btw. I have no concerns about carrying this at all. I also don’t appendix carry. What concerned you? Was it how you carried it?Bingo! Also, precisely why I stopped carrying a P365 and ran back to Glock.
Joke over head No……..
That was legible………
Unless you tape the grip safety down. Mine rattled too much until I replaced the spring, so skate tape did the job.Even if the safety was bumped off....still have to engage the grip safety and pull the trigger for it to go bang.
Take this with a grain of salt, since it's about my subjective comfort level:Did you have a 1st gen? The only issue was with the striker and afaik was fixed way back when it first came out.
