I sure agree that simple and foolproof is good
I do think that what you get used to, and practice with, is important.
I was never able to shoot DA worth a d***, so DA autos don't appeal to me.
What is natural for me is a safety that pushes down into the 'off' position, like the 1911, P35, etc. All my autos, even the 22, have a safety that pushes down for off.
True that pushing an auto into someone may take it out of battery (if the safety is off), but it seems to me that if you're worried about that, as a citizen, you're too d*** close!
