What do you guys think about double action semi autos. I was looking at a few handguns today and never really thought about da semis. What are your opinions.

 

It really depends on what you want to do with the pistol and your own personal preference. DA pistols usually make good carry items, but for the most part the triggers are mushy and don't lend a hand towards precision shooting. At the same time, a DA unit usually raises less eyebrows if it were used in a defensive situation vs say a 2lb SA match unit. Either way, both can be very fun. So get your hands on a DA at some point and give it a shot. Hell it may feel more comfortable to you.

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but haven't all of the suggestions so far been double action semi automatics? I believe they all are, so that should give you an idea of what people think of them.

 

Welll.... yes kinda..

Single action would be a 1911
xd, glock, M&P are all single action in a sense.

Only real Double action semis would be some of the CZ's and i know para makes some DA 1911s.
