Why do I like DA revolvers but hate DAO pistols?

All I wanted to do was dry fire the LCR, and I always ask first. The problem was, it had one of those plastic plates in there, and dry firing would've destroyed it, so the guy said no. Oh well.

Wow the cabelas near me allowed dry firing but only for people 21 and up.

I was at a Cabela's that had trigger locks on pretty much all their stuff, and they had signs up saying not to move any parts. I guess they didn't want people to fiddle with the bolts on the rifles or whatever.

Does leaving a firearm cocked for a long time put unnecessary stress on the internals? That might explain it.

The trigger pull on the LCR is pretty sweet, I just don't like the way it looks or the fact that its a DAO.
