Not a recolver guy, but i want to establish a perfect grip and then draw. Drawing while cocking (any time ive cocked a revolver ir da/sa gun), resulted an a compromised grip, even though its slight.
Test it for yourself, but i bet da will be faster and more reliable, if you practice da dry fire religiously- as you should.
Keep it mind, its not what gives the best time a few times, its what is consistently fast and accurate, and repeatable.

Come on now, celebrate diversity. And, those are photographer's vests. Jeez, always with the hate.
Well, hell no they weren't cocking on the draw, with those heavy Rolex's and Star sapphire rings, it was all they could do to clear nylon.

Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
Practice with the DA and a timer. It takes a lot of work but you will get to be just a fast, and dare I say it? Maybe even faster. You can finish "tweaking your grip", and aligning your sights while going through the trigger press.
I've recently thought long and hard about my EDC and I'm largely moving away from striker fired guns. I just picked up a H&K P30V3 and likely will get a P30L LEM for my primary specifically because I do like DA revolvers and the trigger press is a lot more similar than a striker fired gun. It'll be better transitioning between the two platforms.
What you are describing (thumb cocking DA Autos on the draw) is both unsafe and unreliable.
DA autos can shot be plenty fast from DA. It’s a training issue, nothing more. More correctly, training plus people too lazy to put in the work.

I practiced the idea (no timing) with my Cheetah and this is exactly what I found.
For a smoother, repeatable draw and 1st shot, leave the hammer out of it.
It is NOT unsafe. The gun won't fire unless I press the trigger. It's just slower and creates a "bump" in the draw.
Thanks, guys.

It’s not that I don’t like it. I just like exaggerating for humorous effects more.
I will be happy to bust on USPSA’s penchant for walking through and planning courses of fire, changing production optics to carry optics to basically limited with a slide mounted red dot, and evolving Production rules to ensure no production no longer needing to be, well, an actual production gun.
Or how three gun is infatuated with ways to avoid mag changes in pistol and Carbine, but is somehow enamored my as many shotgun reloads as possible.
Or cowboy action shooting’s two digit power factor.

I’m all about the grip as well.
Those snap open mag baseplates from beretta or the HK squeeze cocker drive me nuts.
Flipping a safety with your thumb is one thing. A fixed strong hand grip with off hand thumbing a SA revolver is one thing.
But shifting grip on the steong hand is downright disconcerting to me.
