DA/SA Emergency Situation question

sa/da

I dont have any problems with a single or double I used a mod 10 with Bomar rib and the SA is 3lb most guns comming off the line now are much more.I can stand correcting JIM.my mod 10 is older and my 1911 is 3.5 any less it will double.my wife mod 10 is oh my on single and wow on DA.it was made as a da target gun. I would let the intruder come to me.as explaining a da or sa.
I would say I shot them not how I did It.Jim Corrilo in first fire fight wondered who was shooting.he hit 3 perps.you dont see or hear just that little circle ahead.theres nothing else around.:rolleyes:
 
Practice is the answer -- and there is no substitute for it! Once mastered, the DA trigger pull is a non-issue...commit to your platform, invest in yourself and your firearm!
 
De-cocking a revolver, once you have checked everything out, could also lead to an accidental discharge.

Most firearms trainers teach you not to cock the revolver unless you have a committed shot at a longer distance requiring a more accurate aimed shot… a very rare situation.
 
Pax beat me to the Cunningham link. Pretty much says it all.

True if you pulled the trigger and didn't get your finger off the trigger and/or prevented the hammer from simply falling. Otherwise, modern revolvers have transfer bars or hammer blocks that prevent the firing pin from contacting the primer if your finger's off the trigger. So long as your finger's off the trigger as you're lowering the hammer, then, there'll be no AD if you slip. Again, though...so long as your finger's off the trigger!
 
I use the same technique for revolvers that I do for my CZ...

... as recommended in the CZ manual.

I put my left thumb under the hammer, before pulling and releasing the trigger with my right. Then I roll my left thumb out from under the hammer after the trigger has been released. This keeps the hammer from falling until after the transfer bar has retracted.

Of course, since we're following safety rules, the muzzle is pointed someplace safe while doing this.
 
If you’re in a high stress situation, like grabbing your gun in the middle of the night because you think there is an intruder in your house to harm you, you may experience an adrenalin dump. This causes your heart to speed up and blood is pulled from extremities and sent to the larger muscles. This detracts from your fine motor control and ability to do some things with your hands… like safely de-cock a revolver.

There are indeed many safety features on modern revolvers. Why do something which is unnecessary and may lead to a problem?
