just wanted to say that another reason why i like the sd/sigma platform is the comfort in knowing that since there is no safety, i know that the striker is at a full rest, not precocked at 98% like the M&P and glock. i have peace of mind knowing that when i'm engaging the trigger mechanism, i'm pulling that striker from a full rest to a fully cocked and released to engage the primer. the long trigger action serves a functional purpose.
