Ok, folks, as a MAJOR newbie to semi's I have a question that may be stupid, but please bear with me. All of my handguns are revolvers at this point. I'm looking into getting a semi for my wife, as her DAO revolver is difficult for her to handle due to the excessive trigger pull. I'm looking at the Taurus 738 .380 auto pistol. I know there are a lot of Taurus haters on here, but please try to answer my question without questioning my sanity -- my Taurus revolver has served me very well. I saw a video on Youtube claiming that there was a defect in the design of the 738 such that if you partly released the trigger then pulled it again, the hammer would fall from halfcock and not reset (despite being a DAO pistol) and would not fire until the slide is racked. I certainly can see someone not fully releasing the trigger in a self defense situation. One person I asked said that this is normal on all pistols, that the trigger has to be fully released. Is this true? do all of the other brands/models do the same thing? Again, please forgive my ignorance and help me to figure these things out. Here is the video:

Is this normal, a bad design, a defective pistol, or a hoax?
