Shooting the double action revolver.
There seems to be a steady stream of requests, in this section, for how to reduce the trigger pull of double action revolvers.
The usual reply involves changing springs, stoning and smoothing parts, recommendations for gunsmiths, 'etc.
But not much in the way of actually learning how to shoot a double action revolver.
There are specific techniques for doing so.
Is this, yet, another example of hoping equipment can be a substitute for skill?
And what if the gun that's available isn't the nifty one with the seven pound DA trigger, the high end sights and the custom fit grips?
What if the gun is a pickup, off the floor, after a failed previous attempt to save the day?
Or one just dropped by one of the bad guys.
And it's just a regular old rusty and neglected .38?
If all you've been shooting is the fancy gunsmithed version, could you do well with the pickup?
Might be worth a thought.
