Reloader Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I am drooling over a Beretta 92FS Vertec, and was looking for one online to get an idea of prices. I found a Dual Action Only(DAO) version. After doing some research on it, I found that some police departments are asking their officers to carry DAO pistols as a "safety precaution"! I would, personaly, never buy a DAO pistol, I don't mind a SA/DA first shot from an autoloader as long the remaining shots remain SA unless you decock. Anyone here like DAO? or have a good reason to buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierbuck Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Re: DAO semi-auto pistols?!? I use Glocks, they are DAO. It's all in what you train with and make yourself used to, IMO. Hard to argue that there is an inherent shortcoming, though. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: DAO semi-auto pistols?!? I've recently picked up a S&W M&P .40 as a carry gun. This model is a DAO. I find it very easy to shoot. The biggest advantage to a DAO is that the trigger pull is exactly the same from first shot to last. There are some who have problems hitting with the first shot out of a DA/SA gun because of the much higher pull weight of the first shot. Some of the early DAO guns had harsh triggers. They have come a long way in improving this. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Re: DAO semi-auto pistols?!? I am partial to the trusty old 1911, my wife likes the Glock. IMO it is whatever you get comfortable with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
