Who's talking about the average shooter??????? Where and when did anyone espouse the SA for the average shooter? Nowhere in this discussion. I'm not talking about the average shooter or that SA's are a good idea in general. They are not. The average person who walks into a gun shop looking for something to defend hisself with would be better served with something else. That is painfully obvious. We're talking about individuals here. Individuals who might possess more skill with an SA than anything else, simply because it's what they enjoy shooting. I know guys who carry and shoot an SA every day but probably couldn't find the safety on a Glock (tongue in cheek), much less shoot one accurately with that crappy trigger. Sorry but you can't change the context to fit your argument.
Yes, a single action revolver is quicker to draw from leather. The grip design is quicker and easier to grab. Since the hammer should be cocked while it's coming up, that doesn't affect the time to draw and fire the first shot. So yes, in response to the nonsense that it is a greater challenge to draw a single action from concealment, I say horse hockey. Or did you miss the comment I was responding to? No, I don't think it's the most important thing but it is important and I would arbitrarily dismiss any "trainer" who didn't think it was important to practice from concealment. Are you serious with that crap?

Wrong, read it again. I've ridiculed no one. I was responding to a specific comment....you have ridiculed people who use other weapons with your spray and pray comment.
Again, all that nonsense is taking my comments out of context. I see that reading comprehension is a lost art.There is one simple fact. You are only one person, you may have become proficient with the system that you chose, but that doesn't prove that your choice is the best one. I am not fond of saying that the majority is right, but it is. For about a century, shooters all around the entire world have found that it is easier to gain proficiency with, and perform well with any of the other semiautomatic or double action platforms. This doesn't prove anything, but it does clearly show that those other systems are preferred, and obviously work better for the average shooter. If the sa was the better system, the 1911 would be stuck on the bottom corner of the case.
