First, look at the hammer.

If the rear of the hammer (where the spur would be) has a weird, half circle shape that protrudes from the rear of the slide, it is a pre-cocked model.
These will have the extended frame and slide.
If it is NOT a TSW model than it is the 1st style.

If it IS a TSW model, it is the second style. (No extended slide and frame.)

The third style has a spurless hammer that looks the same as any other spurless hammer. (Also no extended slide and frame.)
Luckily, there are only a few models with this 3rd style, true DAO mechanism.
If it is a 3914DAO, CS9D, CS40D, CS45D, or 457D (I think) it is a 3rd style, true DAO.
These are the only models of this style I've ever heard of.
