In the video Rob describes that the DA/SA pistol should be carried decocked with a round in the chamber. Why not "cocked and locked" like a 1911 so your first shot and subsequent shots would be SA?
The longer and heavier first trigger pull of a DA/SA firearm is advantageous when you consider that you will will most likely be pointing a firearm at someone and not pulling the trigger. Little debate that light triggers are more precise and heavier triggers are less prone to AD.
