That is normal for DAO 3rd generation S&W autos. Their hammers are staged for a shorter DA pull. A draw back is that you can not quickly snap the hammer again after you get a missfire. A more important advantage with double stack frame 3rd generation autos is the DAO autos have a shorter trigger reach than traditional DA/SA autos have for their first shot.
There was one odd ball exception. I only mention it because if I don't someone is going to point out the they were not all that way.

Welcome aboard and k22fan's response was spot on.
The Gen3 DAO models are great shooters and my choice for EDC even though I have more TDA models than DAO models in the safe.
I hope you enjoy your new acquisition.

Hmmmm...
Well, a Hound Dawg Howdy to you from SC!
I have a 5943, same gun except for frame material and I'm SURE the trigger moves the hammer in DA. I'll check and get back.
