I was at the gun shop yesterday to buy some ammo and I lingered long enough over the handgun case to get noticed by somebody who works there. He asked if I was interested, and I pointed to one handgun I didn't recognize and asked if I could see it. While he's opening the case, I told him that all my handguns were revolvers and that I didn't have much experience with autoloaders. Then I asked him if he knew if the one he was pulling out of the case was DAO.
He gave me the "I'm an expert, and your question amuses me" smile and proceeded to tell me that "Well... it's a semi-auto, not a revolver. I don't really see how you could call it single action or double action."
I left politely with my ammo. It's not like I'll never shop there again. I certainly will. It's just that my determination to do all my own research instead of trusting the gun shop guys has been reinforced. I'm not saying the guy is an idiot, but "guns" is a very broad subject. Maybe he's an expert in something other than handguns.
