Please don't tell me a cop told you this.
If you shoot someone it doesn't matter what type of trigger, safety, gizmo or other anti-felon device you have on your gun.
Lethal for is lethal force and you:
A) intended to use that level of force or not.
AND
B) you were justified in that use of force or not.
Don't listen to gun store commandos who try and muddy the water with the above issues. Lethal force is pretty cut and dry when you get down to it.
If I'm going to shoot someone I want the biggest most accurate gun I can find. Something that puts a nice 3-4 diameter hole in someones chest. Now, being that I can't carry any incendiary or explosive rounds I'm kind of limited to a few options. I use the biggest, most accurate, and reliable pistol I'm allowed to carry. For me that is a pistol with a Single action trigger. I get the same trigger travel, tension, and break every time. I don't need to worry about a different trigger travel, tension, nor short stroking the trigger.
Thats just my opinion. Some Professionals on here don't mind a DA/SA trigger and some do. I say try both and make up your own conclusions.
