I do not feel that long and heavy trigger pulls are conducive to safety. Instead I think those encourage unsafe weapons handling and make precise hits harder to obtain.
One of the reasons I have returned to Kahrs for carry is that the single action pull mimics my snub nosed revolvers' double action pull. As I will continue to carry a revolver I hope the consistency will be helpful. *The Kahr is not a true "double action" as the slide does 1/2 the striker cocking. The trigger pull only mimics a double action.
When it comes to full-size handguns, the only ones I desire to carry are the 1911 and Browning Hi Power breeds. One type of action I used to be welded to but now have no desire at all for, is the Walther PPK / P38-inspired double action first shot/single action following shots, AKA "DA/SA." I now prefer a consistent trigger pull each time.
