Ok, I've been asked some questions that I just can't find the answers to. Well I could find some answers if I search the internet long enough but I would rather see what you all have to say.
Q1) What is the difference between Single Stack and Double Stack?
Q2) What are the differences between SAO, DAO, DA, SA, DA/SA? I know they stand for Single Action, Double Action, etc.
Q3) How do the different safety features work? I.E. Decocking Lever, Trigger Safety, Grip Safety, etc. I know theres more but I don't remember them off hand.
Q4) What are the differences between a 1911 style auto and say something like the GLock, H&K(P30, 45series), etc.?
Q5) Why are the 1911's so much more expensive than other autos?
Q6) IYHO, what makes a great CC auto, besides a 1911?
I ask these questions not just for myself, but because I was asked these by my fiancee and couldn't find the answers. I know a little about SA and DA, but not enough to explain it to my fiancee or the little ones should they ask when I start training them on firearms. Thanks in advance for all your help.
