I have carried both over the years in my line of work at the direction of those having power over me. I have worked many cases where each was used in self defense.

Maybe I have, but if I ever worked a case of accidental injury or death due to a SAO, I do not remember it. I have some sidearms with custom triggers that are so sensitive that breathing will almost set them off but never had an AD or a ND. Yet I carried those two guns for years.

Unless a person is well practiced, shooting DAO will pull their sight picture off.

I carry and shoot a 1911. It is always cocked. Never a misfire and never have shot the wrong person or missed my target. Never had a round go off too soon either.

We can come up with hypotheticals all week long. Yet there is no evidence of them becoming fact or real world experience.

Maybe we need to correct our aim to take in account all those thugs that are vertically challanged. I do not want to over shoot a three foot high person trying to rob me.
