I bought a copy of my department's official, non special unit sidearm, the S&W M&P 40. This pistol is hammerless and without mechanical safeties in the .40 S&W cal. Simply put this weapon is hot when you rack the slide.
I got a friend who hates these types of weapons. He prefers the more defensive and psychological options of having a mechanical safety (for his peace of mind) and a hammer (for the psychological effect on the enemy).
I hate those items. Its just more to go wrong and gets in the way when you need to fire as most of us will be firing from as a defensive reaction to a deadly force situation.
If you prefer the good to go option, why? If you don't and need the comfort of the safeties and hammers (unless your state requires such nonsense... how dare they have input on the type of weapon you buy), why?
