OK. Now I've been following this thread, and I'm trying to get this straight. Most, but not all, 'DAO' pistols these days are striker fired. There are systems that allow the cocked or fired gun to leave the hammer/striker in a - fully retracted, semi-retracted, or non-retracted state. Correct? So the DA pull will either drop the hammer (not really DA), partially retract and drop the hammer (striker, hammer), or fully retract the striker and drop it to fire. I know the Glocks I've fired do a partial lift and drop. I've never fired a Kahr. So that is a full retract and drop? The striker pistols I've fired never had a second strike capability. So, I assume they work on a partial, at least, retract before drop. Which is usually facilitated by the slide movement. No-fire=no 2nd shot. Unless it is a true DA. Which brings me back to my question.
