On the M&P, as the slide goes forward the striker is left partially cocked. Pulling the trigger finishes cocking the striker fully.Is the striker fuller cocked before the trigger is pulled, or does the trigger pull partially cock the striker?
The sear cams the striker to the rear slightly so technically it is pre-set DAO
I wouldn't think that the IDPA board would be fooled by mere marketing. Rather, they actually LOOKED AT THE XD and determined it was, essentially, SA. Why they didn't look at the M&P is a mystery.
technically it is pre-set DAO
In the literature I have, S&W uses the words "partially cocked".Pulling the trigger rearward does not technically finish cocking the striker. It is cocked when the sear impacts the striker after the slide fully returns to battery. Pulling the trigger rearward, depending on which manufacturer is being referenced, just additionally tensions/extends the striker anywhere from a few thousanths on up.
I've been thinking about that statement since yesterday and have concluded: It wins the best oxymoron prize !!!technically it is pre-set DAO
Go on...It wins the best oxymoron prize !!!
