And when police agencies switched from revolvers to auto-loaders scores went up, not down.
Shooting a light DAO auto trigger beats shooting a heavy double-action revolver trigger every time (all other things being equal).
And shooting a light consistant trigger DAO auto trigger beats shooting a heavy-SA/light-DA auto trigger as well.
A heavy DA auto trigger has nothing to do with ease of accurate shooting.
It's merely an ILLUSION of SAFETY.
A DA/SA design has increased mishandling safety..period, it is a fact, deal with it....and not all LE agencies switched to polymer hammerless stricker fired pistols...some agencies do not have budget problems yet
Beretta and SIG are wildly popular LE and special forces choices.
What matches are you referring to?
SA pistols and Glock style DAO pistols rule the competition scene.
But there's just no getting around the fact that a 10 lbs. long-travel double-action revolver trigger does not compare to a 5 lbs. short-travel Glock trigger.
An old S&W revolver has a trigger smoothness that Glock (and many other pistols) can only dream of...and remember I can always fire in SA with a DA/SA design....
If you do not want a reliable, combat accurate pistol with tons of aftermarket support and that that you can work on yourself with a minimal amount of tools and technical know-how then you should stay away from Glocks.
