Lawyers had nothing to do with me deciding DA, every shot, is best, for me. I could still be carrying "grandfathered" 1911s on duty, if I wished. When I started carrying DAK, in 2004, I was a "kind-of" rebel, having to make sure certain anti-DAK supervisors were not at the qual range. These certain sergeants insisted only the decocker P229 met PD specs, even though the rules said nothing about DA/SA being the only allowable option. (Our qual range runs 24 hours a day, five days a week.)
The first guys to embrace DAK within my agency were some of the narcs, who qual under their own firearms training supervisors/instructors. They train and qual with handguns to a higher level than the SWAT guys, our PD's SWAT being full-time SWAT, under their own captain. The narcs were shooting and moving and communicating, at multiple turning targets, before the tacticool community embraced such shooting.
To be technically correct, I let my 1911s lapse when I switched to Glocks, but that was a short-lived experiment, as I soon discovered DAK, which I shot better than the Glock trigger system, as soon as I tried it. I am not saying DAK is best for everyone, nor anyone in particular, other than myself. I just wanted to make it clear that I would prefer DAK even if there were no such things as product liability lawsuits, no such thing as personal injury lawyers, and nothing written by Mas Ayoob about liability.
DAK puts the trigger pull of the weapon I shoot better than anything in the world, namely the medium-large-framed DA revolver, into an autoloader that holds twice as much ammo as the sixgun. I reckon that if I clamped a weight onto the accessory rail of my P229R DAK, to make it balance like a full-lugged sixgun, I might shoot it fully as well as the sixgun.
