Staging the trigger is one thing. I can stage the trigger with all of my J frames, pulling it about 2/3rd of the way through the double action pull to a... set point, for lack of a better term... and then the final 1/3rd of the way through with it feeling very much like a long single action pull.

What will NOT happen, however, is the gun staying cocked single action when the trigger is released.

If any double action handgun is doing that, it's a mechanical issue.
