DAO Sp-01 am I crazy

[Tok36]

Does the oem DAO retain the half cock hook?

   I have not had the opportunity to examine a 75 DAO myself, so i can not be 100%. My assumption is that both the half cock and full cock hammer hooks are not present. There are two things that fuel my assumption here.

   One is that when the slide cycles the Sear is reset. This means the the hammer would stop at the half cock as it followed the slide forward after firing. Now this would not really cause a problem, it would just shorten the DA pull for the next shot, but if you look at pictures of the 75 DAO it always looks like the hammer is in the fully down position. If a DAO naturally stopped at the half cock you would figure that you would see it in some of the pictures. Two is this picture i found of the DAO hammer for the CZ P Series. The DAO hammer pictured has no half cock hammer hook.

There are at least a few 75 DAO owners here on the forums, maybe they will give us a solid answer.

I agree about the pic, but Bossgobbler's comment got me thinking about hammer follow. I've never considered this conversion since DAO doesn't interest me at all.
