I wish it had not been Double Action Only (DAO) .

DAO requires much more practice to become really proficient.

I find it much easier to learn proper trigger control than to re-learn how to shoot DAO.

I think it gets down to a matter of, what do you intend on using the gun for? Single action triggers are the hands down winner for target shooting or competition, but I still wouldn't want one for open or concealed carry. I know that people swear that it's safe to carry cocked and locked, but I prefer to carry a gun uncocked and I prefer the long, heavy and deliberate trigger pull necessary to fire a DAO pistol if I have to carry it. It's just an extra element of safety that I don't want to give up.

As for DA/SA pistols I really don't like the idea of the trigger pull changing after the first shot. It's hard enough to shoot accurately as it is without your trigger changing.

Im stuck in the mud with you! Single action all the way.

And if your gonna carry for defence, cocked and locked, ready to go.
