they always say that the first shot is double action?
As stated in my other thread, I am a newb when it comes to semi autos, but how is that true?
When you load a magazine, you have to rack the slide and chamber the round for anything to happen when you pull the trigger. When you do that, is the trigger not in single action for the subsequent shot, everytime?
Isnt a DA/SA pistol only in DA if a round is chambered, and then the gun is decocked? Since at least half of the modern semi autos dont have a decocker, or even an external hammer, why is DA/SA universally explained this way? Is it not reasonable to assume that since most people dont carry, and fewer still carry with a round chambered, gun deocked, that most users will almost never pull the trigger in DA?
What am I not getting here?
