Quoted: Good answer. You converted me. It will make my search for the "perfect handgun" much, much easier. Thanks.

TRUTH BE TOLD ====> There is no such thing as the "Perfect Handgun"... (Though, IMHO, a Kimber 1911A1 is as close as you're going to get)
If there were, only one handgun would be owned by shooters. As we all know, most of us that can afford it (I can't right now), have more than one handgun... (but will have another soon)
My carry gun is a Bersa Thunder 380 Auto. It's a DA/SA handgun, and I prefer the SA first shot, but always trained, and qualified with a DA (5lbs) first shot, and SA (3lbs) every one thereafter. I'm still able to quickly draw, aim, & fire my DA first shot with very good accuracy every time. Granted, SA would be better, IMHO, for accuracy, but as was previously mentioned... One must be extra cautious with a SA CCW gun. My qualification target had a 3.5" ragged hole with a few fliers that pushed the overall group to 5" (likely the DA first shots) at 25 yards (75ft).
There is nothing wrong with DA/SA handguns, it is all a matter of preference. I will soon (within a year) buy a 1911 .45 ACP for fun shooting, competition, and CCW.
