Ok, I just read another thread where somebody was complaining about only grouping 4 inches at 50 yards! So I know some of you must be real experts with revolvers.
Here's my question. Is single action or double action the way to go with a double action revolver when trying to fire as fast as possible and still hit a 3 to 4 inch circle at about 50 FEET?
Strange question? Perhaps. I've seen some good shooters do shots like that with single action by using either their off hand or firing hand thumb to do the work. But I've never seen a good double action shooter.
I would think that double action should ultimately be better for this task, if one practised enough at it.
My hypothesis is that few people are good shooters in double action nowadays because they are used to semi-autos with a lighter trigger pull.
I'm going to work on double action, with the belief that it can be both fast and accurate.
What'cha think?
