This is a serious question, but the explanation I'm looking for is not along the lines of "The first trigger pull is a long double action stroke, and the second trigger pull is a shorter lighter single action stroke." I'm well aware of this aspect of the DA/SA trigger system.
What I'm struggling to understand is why a much lighter and shorter second shot trigger pull is any kind of issue at all. Surely, if you can shoot well with the DA pull, the SA is no big deal at all. What am I missing here?
Is it that the trigger reset is further back in SA than the take up of slack was for the first DA pull? Is it that the SA pull is so short and light in comparison to the first DA pull that people struggle to keep the gun on target as they pull the trigger and feel so much less resistance than with the first pull? Is the problem only one that really occurs at levels above my mediocre abilities, and it's the top level shooters that have this problem based on something I am not proficient enough to understand?
If you struggle with the DA/SA transition, would you mind telling me why that is exactly, because I'm truly baffled by this concept.
