Shooting DA all the time a crutch? Not sure I buy into that. Shooting a DAO auto is just the same as shooting a DA revolver the way it was intended, and to be good at it requires loads of practice, just the opposite, in my opinion, of inadequate firearms training, or am I missing something in that statement?
I view shooting a traditional DA auto, after the first shot, as more of a crutch - if you will - more akin to cocking a revolver for each shot (SA), as I see MOST shooters doing. As for training, that is bad practice in my opinion (shooting a defensive revolver SA that is).
As for the first Third Gen DAO models, I have not met one that I did not like, all that I own are virtually smooth and consistent from shot to shot. And the M4586 is probably the best of the bunch, tough to beat the full size .45 DAO autos, with the M4586 being a personal favorite.
