Rarely fire my DAs in DA anyway and frankly I just enjoy the whole experience when firing my SAs. Extremely relaxing and besides I go to the range to relax and hav a good time. I’m in no rush.North Country Gal wrote:Confession time, here, but I actually prefer shooting SA revolvers to DA revolvers and not just for the western tradition thing. With the grip I use on SA revolvers (cowboy action style with pinky under the grip), I can actually shoot them with very consistent accuracy. Take a look at my last range report, as an example.
Also, in timed tests I've done, shooting an SA revolver i 45 ACP, two hands, cowboy style, versus shooting a DA revolver in DA and even versus a 1911, my follow up speed and accuracy was actually the best in the SA over DA shooting in the DA revolver and even a touch better than the 1911. The one disadvantage for me, is that if I had to shoot one-hand, instead of two, I'd be much slower with the SA revolver. On the other hand, for me, nothing faster to draw from a holster and point than a good SA revolver.
Bottom line: don't sell the SA revolver, short, in the performance category. For me, the SA revolver is still a very PRACTICAL shooting tool.
