Much better...so, no safety? But, it does have a decocker? No safety I can handle, as long as I can drop the hammer without putting holes in something and have it nice and ready, I still like it...
Yeah, I like my HK P2000SK for this reason. No safety but has a decocker.
My favorite is my HK45c. No safety, no decocker. I have learned to use it confidently.

I don't care about "using it safely", it's not me I'm worried about, it's my 2 year old.
As far as Hk's, I'd like one, but, in the end, I'm not throwing yet another batch of mags in the trash because I changed models again...and, well, HK's are almost twice the price of the XD's, and, I can't see them being that much better.

...that sounded bad...
It's not "using it safely" that I'm worried about, but rather keeping my daughter safe from an accidental discharge.

Dude, my 6 month old can flip off the safety (thankfully could not pull a DA trigger or ever get her hands on a firearm EVER). That is why my three have zero access via safes, hidden/unloaded firearms, and lots of training/understanding. I'm proud of my 12 yr old son. He has a respect and fear of guns as well as training.
The pistol I let him use under my supervision has safety, decocker etc.

Hell, she might be able to, but, every little bit of safety measure is worth it.
I'd love to find a physical safety/decocker/mag locked safety type pistol.
Well, that said, if I could get a Taurus semi-auto that would survive, I'd take them in a heartbeat, especially the lovely turnkey lock safety. You could have a round in the chamber, and, I even think the hammer can be back, then a quarter turn of the key and nothing functions, quarter turn the other way you're hot again and pew pew pew goes the gun

HK P30 V3 in 9 or 40 is close as I can get
I have safety, decocker, and mag well safety.
I understand what you are saying. Lock it up too tight . . .

If you lock it down too much, you can't use it when it's needed...
Magwell safety, I.e. if you have the mag released but not dropped, or no mag in, it won't fire?

Yeah, you can turn a key in the magwell and it won't fire.
I don't really use it. I would if I were storing something long term.

Ah, that's a lock safety, like the Taurus.
I want the kind that if you unlatch the mag it doesn't release the safety and then won't fire.

Agreed, but, little hands have less safe versions...

Little hands around my house won't touch a gun. I taught my daughter at a young age, probably started about 3, about guns and gun safety. You really want to drive home a point about the destructive power of a gun, take one of their toys...place some Tannerite inside of it...let it fly. Then go buy them a new toy. My daughter is 6 and has zero curiosity about guns, is absolutely not afraid of them, and has the utmost respect for them. My 17 year old son keeps a shotgun in his room and my 19 year old has a Taurus .22 pistol in his. They both are VERY responsible with them. The best way to STOP children being killed due to A.D. is to remove the curiosity and educate them

I've already won the fight with the wife, and will start teaching the safety at 3, but, that's a little ways out still. I don't worry about the little hands where it's stored, I worry about em getting into it if/when they happen to come across it in my GHB...

Most of mine stay locked up. I don't store my pistol in a bag as I carry. My pistol is never out of arms reach...well I won't say never...but my daughter at 6 is still not quite strong enough to pull the double action trigger. Now if there was one in the pipe and the hammer back she could, but then I would be a douche nozzle for leaving an unsafe weapon.

I have an old shot gun that my Dad gave me to go hunting with (although this will be my first year hunting). Looks like this...nothing fancy...
I also have a very old Winchester youth shotgun that has engravings on both sides. It was given to me by my Great Great Grandfather who died when I was 7. He was a very avid hunter and a farmer. It's never been fired, worth a bit of money, and I treat it like a family heirloom. I'd get a picture of it but it's at my parents house right now. Once I get up and running in an apartment I'm going to mount it on the wall.
Looks like this but with a lot more engravings. Black metal and gold (color anyway) engravings on both sides of ducks and swirls and etc.
Also I am looking into a small hand gun for later when I leave the air force dorms and can actually have one.
Something like this...

Might I suggest either FN or Walther over the S&W

Agreed, the only reason I went back with my XD, other than it having been immaculately accurate, and reliable, was because I already had 4 extra mags for the XD40, otherwise I'd have gone to the FNX. My neighbor has one and I love the way it feels and shoots. I'd say it's easily on par with the XDm for comfort and accuracy.
Btw, here's my new replacement baby.

I wouldn't trade my glock for anything. I would, however, like to add a Walter PPQ sometime.
- Location
- Amarillo, TX
I would trade every glock and every 1911 I've ever fired for whichever walther it is that's got a decocker, SA/DA trigger, and a physical safety (in a .40) a beretta 92 or Taurus 92, and a beretta 96/Taurus 101.
On a different note, a local guy I know narrowly escaped gun charges for having an illegal full auto ar15. He'd loaded a mag of hand loaded ammo, and had apparently used some uber-sensitive match primers, the gun proceeded to "slam-fire" about 12 rounds before he dropped the mag, the range master let it drop when he put the mag into HIS ar and replicated the issue instantly...
I can recommend the HK P30S V3 in .40 for the decocker, SA/DA and safety. The Walther PPQ is a nice gun - then you put your hands on the HK P30 . . .
