Yeah, I prefer a single action with the safety locked; DA is okay but I have a feeling that under stress it would simply cause me to miss that first crucial shot (the one that usually hits dead on with a SA). I don't believe in "Israeli Carry" period... unless you're toting an old Colt SAA. The time it would take to ready the weapon is not worth it. Real safety means "finger off the trigger" and all that.
I carry my H&K USP45 "cocked and locked." The USP is a nice system because even while the safety is locked in "S" you can still manipulate the slide to inspect / clear the weapon. Much quicker and safer than a 1911 (*waits for incoming flames*).
I carry my Glock 34 ready to go. Glocks, of course, don't have external safeties and rely strictly on trigger awareness. I carry 17+1 in the gun and use a Kydex or leather holster.
I carry my S&W 37 J-frame .38 Special loaded and in either a IWB or pocket holster. Revolvers, in my opinion, will always have a place in civilian concealed carry.
