No prob.
Of course, it's getting harder and harder to describe all the other 
actions out there for semi-autos. How do you describe the Browning BDA's 
"revolver" mode? What about a Glock? Or the new Daewoo "tri-action"? And 
I'm sure there must be others.
But it can be fun finding out.
It seems like the newer large-caliber (as opposed to .22) Ruger pistols 
are either DAO or decock only, no safety at all. Some of the older 
Rugers, like the P89, had a decocking safety, but it's not even an option 
on the P95. Personally, I like the option of a safety.
