Or would have, if it hadn't been edited out! It came to light when you looked at the section regarding gun smithing, which mentions a procedure for tweaking a DA pistol to remove the -1 penalty. But the penalty itself was removed from the book. I use it, and all my players have custom-fixed DA pistols to counter it. Or do when they can keep their own weapons... they tend to have to take new pistols to gunsmiths on a regular basis... ;-) Jeff Y.
