OK having read on this board for awhile I know that some of the more experienced members like the DA/SA trigger. Based on the fact that my experience with pistols is limited to one (M9) while in Iraq I can freely admit Im not sure why one action is prefered over the other as I was never a 1911 guy nor am I LEO reqiured to carry DAO so I have no bias.

While attending a CCW course recently I got to shoot a few DAO guns and while I didnt like the specific models themselves (M&P, SW XD among others) I couldnt tell what is wrong or right with this trigger set up.

The guys that ran the course, including some LEO types, feel that the DAO is better for self defense as its simpler to use, and some said more defensable in court. To me simple is good no matter how much experience or training I have.

I can, however, say from experience that while in Iraq when I used the M9 it worked just fine. But I can say the same for the DAO guns I shot just a short time ago.

I might also add that if I am correct one requirement the Army had for their new pistol was to be DAO. If we are someday going that route it might make sense to carry this in the civilian sector too.

Ive done some serching on the internet and here too but nothing Ive read truly spells out specifically why one action is better than the other.

If any of you guys dont mind can you explain if and why one action is truly superior to the other? And what that differnce will mean in a daily carry or gunfight?

I truly appreciate any thoughts and comments-
