I prefer beretta 92/96 platform. G conversion, decocker only - no safety. DA/SA, spring loaded decocker. It's what I'm used to, it's what I'm comfortable with. No armchair conjecture for me, going off of being an armored truck driver for a bit.

''I prefer beretta 92/96 platform.'' It is an excellent gun/platform. Very smooth shooting, little muzzle flip compared to the typical Browning tilting barrel guns. Also, just like P38/P5 platform, it is very reliable in cold weather. Due to slightly different lock up from P38/P5, its lock up is a bit less positive mechanically, but it makes the gun also a little thinner as well, so that double column mags can be used, unlike P38/P5. Now, the absolute accuracy can suffer compared to Browning tilting barrel lock up system, since barrel to slide lock can't be as tight as Browning tilting barrel, especially custom ones, like some high end 1911s, but for the purpose intended, what counts more is practical accuracy, double tap, or 'burst' fire at typical SD range, it is more accurate, due to its smooth shooting nature. ''G conversion, decocker only - no safety.'' I am agnostic on that score; I understand it makes the manual of arms simpler. But I also worry about the case of gun being snatched and used against me.

This or an underarm holster should soothe your worries. I would also recommend not letting people get that close to begin with.  The G conversion paired with DA was the most reliable way I could be certain that *if* I ever had to use it, my retarded brain won't have to worry about a safety, or squeezing the grip extra hard, or anything like that. I want it to be a rooty tooty point and shooty no matter how long it goes without being used. It's not the best, it's not the worst. Just what I'm used to.

Lot of female cops have that happen to them, sucker punched while trying to make an arrest, lose their gun.
