I was issued a 5943 as a duty weapon in the early nineties (as were all patrol officers then) and at first I wasn't to crazy about the DAO, having owned several S/A-D/A pistols, but actually learned to appreciate it as time went on, due to the simplicity of it. I carried that pistol for more than a dozen years, and the only problem I ever had was a defective mag release (flew apart) when the gun was new and had only a hundred or so rounds through it. After that, it was only the occasional recoil spring replacement. I carried it with the above mentioned Uncle Mikes grips, and it was very comfortable for me. I enjoyed it so much that when we changed to the plastic pistols, I purchased it from the dept. for the more than fair sum of one hundred dollars, and still enjoy firing it to this day....night sights long since dead, but here it is, I keep it in the original box....
