Cocking the hammer is fine. When I used a DA/SA HK P9S for competition I'd choose the DA trigger for targets inside 10 yards and use the cocking lever for longer shots. A similar type of decision to what amount of sight picture you're going to acquire depending on the range to target.

My old club saw plenty of DA/SA shooting with Berettas, Sigs, USPs and S&Ws. I'm sure the P99 gets a fair amount of range use.

There are all sorts of skills to master to be good at IDPA. Controlling a DA trigger I think is fairly minor compared to something like consistant sight alignment.
