A lot of people prefer SAO. Im not bashing SAO, i really like 1911s. What im wondering is why people buy DAO on pistols that come DA/SA. Ive seen sigs, HKs, ect, offered SAO. I see DA/SA pistols with manual safetys that people carry cocked and locked for some reason. I think DA/SA is good since you get a quicker first shot and dont deeal with a frustrating safety. I want to know if theres any advantage to SAO pistols, and why someone would carry da/sa psitol cocked and locked?
