Painted, I thought you might have been referring to revolvers because the only item that has a "heavy long trigger pull for all shots" is a DA revolver.

The "hammerless" ones you mention might have been Glocks or one of it's equivalents (Walther 99, springfield XD, S&W M&P). I own and shoot many types of firearms including Glocks. Again, it's trigger pull isn't long but it is slightly heavier. It is neither DA or SA. Technically it might be called a "1.5 action."

As I mention above, a true DA semiauto will have a long heavy trigger pull ONLY with the first shot. The whole point of making a semiauto is that each shot recocks the hammer for a lighter SA trigger pull.

But if you fired a semiauto which had a long heavy trigger pull with each shot, then it's not because it's a DA auto, it's because the gun needs a good trigger-job. Ask your dad.
