Miami PD--one of the first big police departments to adopt the Glock, did so in 1987. Smith and Wesson had long been producing DA/SA semiautomatics, and introduced DAO models for the 3rd Gen (1988). And of course, there's no real safety difference between a DA/SA and pistol and a DA revolver. Many other police departments had long been issuing or authorizing the S&W DA/SAs.
Of course, I've never accused any big-city Chief of being a smart person.

HELLO FRIEND, I MENTIONED ELSEWHERE, MY KEYBOARD DOES NOT TYPE LOWERECASE WHEN SWITCHED TO ENGLISH. I HAVE NOT THE SLIGHTEST CLUE WHY, AND IN NO CASE I KNOW MUCH ABOUT COMPUTERS.
THE RESTRIKE OR NOT, WAS NOT A MATTER OF PREFFERANCE, RATHER A WAY TO DEMONSTRATE THE DIFFERENCE IN OPERATION OF EACH TRIGGER SYSTEM. HOWEVER, WE HAD AT THE RANGE HERE A COUPLE TIMES BATCHES OF 9MM, THAT SEEMED TO HAD BEEN PRIMED FOR OPENBOLT SUBMACHINE GUNS. THE LATEST WAS FROM RUSSIA, ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. OLIVE DRAB CASE, COPPER FMJ AND RED PRIMER. THOSE ROUNDS WERE HARD TO IGNITE THROUGH A GLOCK, AND SOMEHOW EASIER THROUGH AN F92 OR A USP. IN CASE OF MISFIRE IN EACH, THE DA/SA WAS A ROUTINE OF REAIM AND FIRE. THE GLOCKS HAD TO BE CYCLED. MAY BE A DIFFERENT WAY TO RECOCK THEM, ITS JUST THAT WE COULD NOT FIND IT. BESIDES, THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE ONLY INSTANCE WHERE A SUCH FEATURE WOULD BE USEFUL I GUESS, AND NOTHING MORE.
ON HOW A DA/SA AND A DA REVOLVER DO NOT DIFFER IN SAFETY, I AM NOT SURE I FOLLOW. IF FOR EXAMPLE MY LOADED 4506 OR 5904 HAVE THEIR SAFETY ENGAGED, NO MATER HOW MUCH I WORK THE TRIGGER, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. ON THE OTHER HAND, MY 686 WILL ALWAYS GO CLIK OR BOOM DEPENDING IF LOADED OR NOT. ASSUMING NOW THAT BOTH GUNS ARE IN THEIR HOLSTER, TRIGER EXPOSED, AND SAFETY OFF, (FOR THE SAKE OF THE EXAMPLE) THE PISTOLS WILL GO BOOM IF THE TRIGGER IS MAINULATED. WILL THEY EJECT AND RECHAMBER? HMMM... I DONT KNOW, BUT I DOUBT IT. HOWEVER, THAT FIRST SLUG WILL BE ON ITS WAY TO SOME RANDOM TRAJECTORY, INCLUDING MY ANATOMY. THE SAME EXAMPLE WITH THE REVOLVER HOWEVER, I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY POUNDS OF TRIGGER PULL WILL BE NEEDED TO SPIN THE CYLINDER INSIDE THE HOLSTER, AND MAKE IT FIRE ACCIDENTALY. I HAVE NOT TRIED IT OFFCOURSE, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME A BIT DIFFICULT TO HAPPEN. I BELIEVE THAT A DA/SA - DAO - STRIKER FIRED PISTOLS AND DA REVOLVERS ARE VERY DIFFERENT ANIMALS IN TERMS OF SAFETY. JUST MY TWO CENTS FRIEND.
