Quick Summary

Firearms can be carried in different modes based on their action type. Single-action guns are typically carried 'locked and cocked' with the safety on. Double-action firearms can be decocked and carried without the safety, featuring a longer first trigger pull. DA/SA pistols offer the flexibility to be carried in either mode.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should a single-action firearm be carried?

A single-action firearm should be carried 'locked and cocked' with the manual safety engaged. To fire, you disengage the safety. This method ensures the firearm is ready to fire but secured against accidental discharge.

What are the carry options for a double-action firearm?

Double-action firearms can be carried with the hammer decocked, meaning the safety can be off. The first trigger pull will be longer and heavier, acting as a safety margin. DA/SA firearms can also be carried in single-action mode.

Can a DA/SA pistol be carried like a single-action pistol?

Yes, a DA/SA pistol can be carried in single-action mode, which means it is carried 'cocked and locked' with the manual safety engaged, just like a dedicated single-action firearm. This offers flexibility in how the firearm is carried.

What is the primary safety consideration when carrying a firearm?

The primary safety consideration is understanding and correctly applying the manual of arms for the specific firearm's action type. For single-action, this means managing the safety. For double-action, it involves understanding the trigger pull characteristics.
