Chronovore Chronovore not looking for discussion on the subject but this is the most uncomfortable gun for appendix carry, I’m talking from personal experience… The DA/SA is some how a solution for non existing problem and double striking is absolute no-no by most books because it is waste of time instead of t-r-b action
I shot a lot one of those, like it, the one I shot was very reliable, that model is nice. I even thought buying one of the surplus old police guns, in one of my local stores but got carried away with other projects…

Take or leave the discussion but which gun? If you mean that an exposed hammer can cause discomfort in AIWB, a lot depends on the individual gun, holster build, and body type.

You're right that double-striking on a dud is generally not recommended in a defensive encounter but it could arguably be better than manual cycling if you are in a grapple and only have one available. (For instance, the second strike is better than nothing when nothing is the other option.) Ideally, this is not something that should be expected with quality defensive ammo. It could happen but the odds are probably on par with being in a defensive encounter in the first place. I've had it happen with cheap target ammo enough to think about it. I've also had the second strike work more often than not when it does. (Defensive preparation comes down to evaluating probability and doing your best hedging of bets against your best range of probable situations.)

As far as a solution to a non-existent problem, DA/SA goes back a long way. It can be attractive versus manual safeties, which can and do sometimes cause negative outcomes in real defensive encounters. It is another alternative to having a hair trigger at the ready and there can be value in having a margin there. It doesn't offer any additional safety versus DAO but stepping up into SA with a short reset can have benefits too.

About 90% of the time that I do carry, I'm carrying a striker-fired pistol. However, I recognize the value of the DA/SA option, and like I said, love that 4006TSW. I like a lot of the old S&W DA/SA pistols. I especially like that the 4006 was all steel (if I remember correctly).

Chronovore Chronovore Man, that particular gun is way heavier to be carried comfortably appendix…

You got a point there. But then again, i HAVE carried a Ruger Redhawk AIWB. The 4.2" barreled one. Yeah, it was heavy. But not unbearable for a walk/hike of a few miles.

Not sure whether I have posted this earlier, but here it is nonetheless. Not blued, not plastic fantastic, just plain old ranch carry. I did send it to Clark Customs for some minor improvements after having had it a decade, though.

Have very similar to both of these. Particularly the SP101... pretty much exactly the same, except for the grip. I did my own work on mine. Cleaned up the trigger break (single action), and put a lighter spring kit in from Wolffe Springs. Has still been 100% reliable.
The GP I have is one of the limited production (I think) ones that had a 5" barrel. Balances like a dream.
