The P229 is a DA/SA gun. It can be fired with the hammer down and a round in the chamber with a long pull of the trigger. After the first round, it becomes a SA firearm, the hammer is cocked when the fired round is ejected. The 1911 has to be cocked before it will fire from the hammer down, usually when you rack the slide to chamber a round.
