僕はね、ヒマワリになりたかったんだ。

As a Canadian with no practical firearms experience, how's the DA/SA pull weight? I was thinking of getting a Sig somewhere down the line if I ever worked in the US but I'm not sure of the lack of a physical safety. I'm always afraid of the possibility of dropping the sidearm and having it go off although I believe firearms standards specifically made to prevent this nowadays.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

how's the DA/SA pull weight

Pretty good, I described it in the review. SA is about 4-5 pounds. A DA trigger pull is always somewhat difficult to get off smoothly but the SA is very easy to manage. Sig triggers are different than other popular brands, though, so they take getting used to. They don't have that soft "mushy" feel like Glock or M&P.

I'm not sure of the lack of a physical safety

I know some people that are uncomfortable with striker fired (e.g. Glock) or decocker-only guns without manual safeties, but to them I say this: you should treat every gun like it doesn't have a safety lever.

It's better to train yourself on something without a manual safety for a few reasons:
* Manual safeties are just another point of failure between user and firearm, especially under stress
* Extra parts mean extra sources of mechanical failure
* People who rely on a manual safety often become complacent with safe gun handling practices

In short, safety features of any kind are NO SUBSTITUTE for following the Four Rules of Firearm Safety. Remember, the only real safety is the one between your ears.

possibility of dropping the sidearm and having it go off

A myth; this will never happen. Modern firearms are constructed with multiple internal safety functions that prevent a loaded gun from firing unless the trigger is depressed, on multiple redundant levels.

I guarantee you that anyone that claims "it just went off!" is lying or simply didn't realize they had their finger on the trigger.

Hmm... Alright, thanks for the info Mew. ^_^

I got CZ-75D Compact in my job and I can say that you're a pretty good shot.

Sir, you flatter me. :P Took me the better half of a year to get to that point.

And I love the CZ-75! In fact, if I had known about it at the time I probably would have saved an extra $100 or so and gotten that instead.
