"many semi-auto pistols are now double-action only"...

Not really - maybe some small part of 1% of all semiauto pistols. As far as I've heard, DAO automatics are limited to some police departments as a safety issue and those few people who collect curiosities (you know, like "Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolvers"). That's kind of a reach.

What I said is accurate for the overwhelming majority of pistols - and the DAO as well; the only difference is that DAO has a longer trigger pull.

All Glocks are a form of DOA.
That is hardly 1% of the pistols being sold.
I have a P226 that is DOA.

The point wasn't your’s it was the post you responded to. The crux of the question was, why differentiate a mechanically actuated rapid shooter from a semi-auto rapid shooter, if the underlying fear is rapid fire capability. You can not bump fire a DA revolver, but you sure can shoot them amazingly fast. Ditto for a Model 37 Ithaca pump.

My point was that the ATF has no logical rules on the issue.
