I know this is counter-intuitive, but for at least the last year, when shooting semi-auto pistols, I'd shoot some in SA and then some in DA (particularly when testing out a new/used toy I got off Armslist), and I have been consistently shooting much more accurately in DA.
This has been the case with several 3rd gen S&W's, a CZ75, a Walther P99AS, and maybe more.
Not long ago, I was having a Sunday shoot with my best old shooting buddy, and I could barely hit the target I was shooting at,and starting to get annoyed.
Try as I might,I just couldn't seem to hit anything, and finally told my buddy I was gonna give DA a try (decocking levers are handy here), and the first shot was a damn bullseye, followed by more Bullseyes or very close misses! I turned around and looked at my buddy, who was watching this, and we just shrugged and laughed.
I'm typically a pretty "decent" pistol shot, but not what i would even call "good", and I tend to have hot and cold days, accuracy-wise, but with several pistols over a fair amount of time, I seem to be consistently solid when shooting a DA trigger.
Anyone else ever see this, or have an explanation?
