Rick Devoid at Tarnhelm Supply, www.tarnhelm.com, can convert any conventional DA/SA auto to DAO. As noted by others in this thread, it will have second strike capability but will also have a longer, heavier pull than S&W's own, purpose-built DAO design.

Thanks! BTW I enjoy your writing, Sir.

+1 for what Mas has done to help us Non LE gun owners. Sorry for the thread drift, but felt I needed to say it.

Nice, 3914DAO pics fellas.

I also dislike the tap-rack-bang requirement when the gun does not fire. I would prefer the revolver type DAO in which you just pull the trigger again, but that is the downside of a semi.

But with a revolver, you're trying to fire a different cartridge with the next stroke. That's not the case with a semi. Getting the suspect round out of there is probably your best action, not repeatedly striking what could be a dead primer.
