At Ray Chapman's school those that used DA/SA did learn to cock the weapon with their off thumb quickly (and Ray used a 92 Beretta with a Bar-Sto barrel to demonstrate) and we did an awful lot of shooting for a week (as well as two nights.)
Yes you can cock it under stress, but most of the time it's unnecessary as the ranges are close.
May I also suggest going to an indoor range during their off hours and have them turn their lights on low. I've done that many times. Good training.
