Don’t they carry 2022’s? If so it’s kinda hard to “accidently” pull the DA trigger if de-cocked. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

In this case, for the special French edition, DA doesn't stand for double action. . | |||

I believe... If I recall correctly.... That the quick draw gunfight between two cowboys at high noon is mostly a Hollywood creation and rarely if ever happened in the real west.

Not necessarily. If the user wishes to shoot a single action revolver immediately after drawing, it’s necessary to manually cock the hammer. For maximum speed that will be as the revolver is drawn and being brought up to be aimed at the target, including while it’s still pointed at the ground. In addition to cocking the hammer, the shooter then must drop his thump down into position for a proper firing grip on the gun. Waiting until the revolver is pointed at the target to do all that is very slow in comparison. All that’s fine, but what happens with a careless or overeager shooter is that they also get their finger on the trigger before the revolver is aimed at the target. That’s why shots are sometimes fired into the ground—if not the shooter’s leg. I’m not familiar with the state of the fast draw sport today, but I know that at one time it was common for such competitors to have an angled metal deflection plate mounted below the holster to prevent them from shooting themselves in the leg or foot with a wax bullet because such accidents were so common. Keep in mind that it’s only been in the last 30+ years that safety emphasis has been placed on “keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target (or you’re ready to shoot).” It was only near the end of my career carrying an issued DA revolver that much of anyone worried about that issue. But what wasn’t a problem with a long, heavy DA pull became a major hazard if the shooter cocked the hammer during a draw to engagement. ► 6.4/93.6 “ Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed nonage.

From the way he explained it, he cocked the hammer while drawing the pistol and made it about 3/4 the way out of the holster when he got his finger in the trigger guard and had it discharge. “I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” | |||

I used to work with a genius who had managed to nick or ding himself three times by negligent discharge attempting single action fast draw. Apparently he was so fast on the draw that he was unable to get out of the way in time, and so outdrew himself, and outgunned himself on three different occasions. Of course, it's also true that he kept losing...to himself. When one can't win a solo gunfight, it may be time to quit. | |||
