Summary
The article examines the advantages and drawbacks of double-action (DA) semi-automatic pistols, arguing that their longer first trigger pull can add a margin of safety. Critics often cite the need to master two trigger pulls and the challenge of achieving accuracy with the heavier initial pull. The article argues that proper training can overcome these concerns while helping shooters develop better trigger control. DA/SA pistols also offer a crisp single-action trigger for follow-up shots and greater control when holstering. The author recommends practicing consistent trigger movement and choosing pistols with similar DA and SA break points.
