This video explores the challenges of finding modern double-action (DA/SA or DAO) semi-automatic pistols for concealed carry, as most are larger service pistols. Chris Baker highlights the safety advantages of DA/SA triggers, such as a heavier first pull and the ability to manually control the hammer. He recommends the Beretta PX4 Compact, HK P30, and CZ P-07 as top DA/SA carry options, while noting the limited 'slim' DA/SA market. Alternatives like striker-fired pistols with manual safeties or Striker Control Devices (SCDs) are also discussed for enhanced safety.

The Beretta Px4 Compact Carry is a factory-upgraded DA/SA pistol designed for concealed carry, featuring low-profile controls and an improved trigger.

This drill pushes shooters beyond basic mechanics, evaluating their performance when thinking is required beyond simple muscle memory.

He emphasizes that choosing a firearm you enjoy practicing with is a valid approach to EDC, provided it's safe and reliable.
