...I like the lighter pull on the SA, yet still have 2 strike ability. If I had to absolutely choose between SAO or DAO, it would be DAO, just for the fact you can pull the trigger again if first one don't go bang.
That second strike doesn’t guarantee anything.
Failure drills may not be quicker than a second strike ignition, but they’re a damn sight quicker than second strike failure, then doing the drill.
Which brings me to my second point...I’ve never had a failure to fire. I’ve experienced failure to eject, failure to feed, but never failure to fire.
That’s across dozens of revolvers, DA semis, SA semis, DA/SA semis, and striker fired handguns and more than 50K rounds in 25+ years.
I’m sure it happens, I’ve just never experienced it.
