Something I have to ask of the "I hate DAO, give me a DA/SA crowd..."....Where does your first shot go?

I like DAO and striker fired. In that type, I like XD best, DAO S&W revolver 2nd, but I do fine with my Glock, and Kahr too.

It is really all about learning how to break the shot when the sights are aligned. First you must master when the trigger will break, then controlling that happening when the sights are on target. With practice, it is pretty subconcious.

Really learn a triggers break point first, then practice moving the gun to the POA as it breaks.

Even if you never use a DAO or DA gun again, this skill could unlock hidden SA skills.
