""OP - "The 1911 ... has a similarly light trigger pull to a cocked revolver. Why don't DA revolver shooters train to cock off the draw the way 1911 shooters unsafe off the draw?"
The subject here being revolvers, of course, comparisons with SA autos being introduced in the OP, but re: other pistolas re: DA/SA action autoloaders, there are people who do advocate cocking the DA/SA auto for 1st shot, so as to always fire every round in same mode vs. mix-n-match; whether or not that is best option with that type of gun, I have no personal opinion, but it would depend at least in some part on how the gun is carried (you know, proper use of a safety)""
I have never understood this semi auto DA to SA transition difficulty. I never had issues with it. Like any other form of shooting, lots of dry fire practice would be a great benefit to the user of the pistol. So would range practice consisting of DA shot, SA shot, decock, repeat, repeat... I cut my handgun teeth on shooting DA revolvers, even used DA in bullseye competition for timed and rapid fire. Maybe that's why I don't get the difficulty. If in a hostage scenario as described, I would use DA mode also and I would make the shoot.
The way I see it, buying a DA 22 rimfire revolver is a good way to get the DA shooting learned.
