I think I may try to get some Hogues to see if that'll change the grip to fit my hands better.

This is my first S&W 3rd Gen (or any gen) SA, and the DAO wasn't what I was expecting.
The pull isn't bad, not too heavy, a little bit of travel.
But I wasn't expecting to have to cock it every time to test the trigger. I was thinking the DAO was going to be like dry firing a DA/SA gun, just pull the trigger.
Seems to me this is almost a SAO, in that you have to rack the slide before being able to dry-fire.

Also wasn't aware that it had a mag disconnect, but I guess I can live with that if I have to.
Is there a way to disable this?

I haven't shot it yet, I hope to maybe this week.

Overall, I'm very pleased. Not bad, it's a lot of gun for the little $$$.
