It's funny to see you guys with revolver boners talk about Smiths that are still in their catalog. I'd take my buddy's 70's workhorse Model 65 over anything you all have mentioned.

And it can't be that hard to get ahold of a 627. I've shot one (and I enjoy my Model 19 a whole lot more : D).

Oh yeah for the sake of being on topic, DAO pistols offer the safety of a double action trigger, with a consistent trigger pull. If the weight were light enough, it wouldn't be so bad, but usually they aren't, well over 10 pounds or so, and assuredly worse than a good revolver trigger, all kinds of creep everywhere. Then, you have the fact that you have to pull that nicely tuned double action revolver trigger 5, 6 or however many times to expend all of your shots, whereas you have to pull that DAO auto trigger 15 times, and it's going to be crappier every time. I can see it being really awesome if it's done right, but the thing is, it isn't really ever done right. SIG DAKs are probably the closest anything comes to a good DAO, since they are set at the good SIG DA trigger weight, but goddamn SIG triggers are creeptastic, I wouldn't be surprised if it were too.
