RE: Competion, is the DA/SA dead? Share your opinion.

camus:
It seems that most people I see at matches (note: local) are using striker type or a derivative of such actions, or SA.

I have seen a few Beretta's and a few CZ's (which I am very curious about).

Thoughts?

unfy:
The issue with DA/SA is the transition from heavy trigger to light trigger.

It's easier to deal with only a single trigger pull weight.

In a competition setting, this makes sense :)

NENick:
I run a beretta 92fs at the USPSA matches. I believe it really comes down to how you train. During my first few matches, I kept clicking on the slide mounted decocker/safety. It didn't take long to stop doing it.

Practice, practice, practice.

JTH:
In USPSA competition, lots of people use DA/SA CZs.  Ben Stoeger won Nats two times with a Beretta (though we make fun of him for it).  And of course Eric Grauffel shoots a Tanfoglio.

It IS certainly true that locally, you see a lot of Glocks/XDs/M&Ps---because they do just fine, and are MUCH cheaper.  :)

A Matt Mink-smithed CZ can have a smooth 5-pound DA pull, and a 2-pound SA pull, which means its DA isn't any worse than a Glock, and its SA is just like a good 1911--but it costs.

Do you see more DA/SA at matches beyond local?

I have seen a couple of CZ's, both gentlemen that had them shot them very well, one had come down from SD.

I have seen two HK's and only once saw another person with a Sig.

I think think the price point discussion has merit, but as I shoot more striker type handguns I can see another case being made.
