Then you know little about small semi automatic pistols. My wife and I both carry DAO semi auto pistols with external hammers. One smooth pull draws the hammer back and releases it. The hammer is not cocked for the next shot. It is a good way to carry one in the chamber because there are no safeties to worry about.

Oh, I used to have a Ruger KP-94 that was double action on the first shot that left the hammer cocked on each successive shot with about a mile of take up before you got to the sear. Horrible trigger either way.

Wow, that’s pretty strong.
Are you saying that your unnamed DAO pocket pistol has an external hammer that you can cock before each shot to get a lighter trigger pull? Then sure, my bad, I’ve never seen a pistol like that.
Otherwise I’m going to stick with saying that their “experts” comments on cocking before each shot to get a lighter trigger pull only applies to DA revolvers and not DAO pistols.

And yes, I’ve never had the displeasure of shooting a Ruger KP-94 but I’ve heard terrible things about the trigger.
