One of the best things about DA is the convenience of dry fire. *click click click click click click click*

When I did some IDPA years ago, I wish I had a dollar for every time I was up and the RO looked me up and down and said, "do you have your weapon?"
Other shooters, too. They'd scan my torso and say, "What are you carrying?" or "where is your pistol?"
It's because I wore what I wore everyday. I didn't dress any different for the competition. Other than I'd avoid wearing my newer clothes because of possible carbon/grease/oil stains.
It seemed I was in the tiny minority of those participating in the "spirit" and "intent" of the original game.
I knew I wasn't going to win when 75% of the shooters were "gaming". About 20% were simply new shooters who didn't have a clue. I always tried to help them out with whatever they wanted to know IF they seemed receptive, asked, or really looked lost.
What I also didn't care for was EVERY target was "two hits to neutralize". Never one, never five. "Two shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be two!"
Also, ALL cover MUST be crowded!
I really stopped going when it became over an hour between stages and I felt like the training scars weren't worth the little extra stress the game added.

I know that every DA/SA firearm that I have used would require compromising grip. Add in a beaver tail, or weird geometry, and now you have issues.
I suppose, in theory, if you thumbed the hammer in the holster, (encountering a threat or something ) you could draw to SA. But that's asking for problems when safeties be a lackin.
If you buy DA/SA to carry spend more time on the DA phase.
My CZ has seen 4-5 times more dry fires in DA than in SA. It can get to be very fast.
We're talking Minute of Man, in most cases within 7 feet, odd cases up to 21 feet.
Your DA pull doesn't have to make 1/2 MOA @100 yards, it needs to make a minute of man hit and transition into a SA pull for those followups.

Yeah, the fishing vests are the gamer-est things ever. I sometimes get the “is that your cover garment” question on a stage start, because I wear normal people clothes.
Some of my local matches kick off a stage with a Bill Drill, FAST Drill, or Mozambique Drill on the first target.

Why all the hate for folks shooting? The more people who shoot, regardless of reasons, or venue, the more folks we have to protect gun rights. Even if they are just playing golf with guns.
I know see a lot of husband and wife teams shooting Cowboy Action and GSSF around my neck of the woods. That is a good thing in my view.

No hate. Just teasing, ribbing, and complaining about how IDPA is run.

Who said anything about hate.
There is no greater entertainment between guys than the most brutal left handed compliment or savage piss taking.

Now that 'assuming your a guy' was some savage piss talking!
I was upbraided by a guy at a swim meet for using the word 'f@ck' in a conversation with him. I said, 'Sorry, I thought, well, you know, you were a guy, you know.' Whooee! After that was all over we ended up eating lunch together.

Respectfully, I don't buy that. USPSA production division is dominated by DA/SA guns. If what you said is true, then everyone in the sport would be running Glocks and M&Ps.
Speaking only for myself, I can match my drill PRs with a CZ that I've only been shooting one month after spending a decade behind Glocks exclusively and making GM with a G34.
The gun just flat doesn't matter from a performance perspective.
