I agree with Oldman45, but also like the S&W and SIG double-action autos. Since there is no really safe way to get a 1911 to Condition Two, I feel inclined to unload a 1911 when I put it away at the end of the day. The SIG's hammer is already down, so it does not make me feel that it needs to be unloaded.
IMHO, S&Ws are even better since the magazine disconnect is there and the gun can be rendered "temporarily safe" by removing the mag, but I do not shoot them as well as SIGs.
The DA/SA transition has never bothered me - maybe as a result of being an old DA revolver shooter that has had years to come to a pretty good understanding of the properties of both mechanisms.
