Primer test for .44 Spl

[CZ93X62]

Very valid observation, Bill. D/A shooting is so deeply ingrained with me that I shoot as well or better D/A than I do S/A with a D/A wheelgun. About the only S/A shooting I do with a D/A system is rested work.

 

[Brad]

Uh, yeah. The trigger finger. That's the point of D/A revolvers, I thought. I almost never shoot my D/A revolvers via hammer-cocking.

I almost never shoot mine double action. I don’t carry so “social encounters” aren’t really an issue. For sheer fun shooting single action is all I need. Or want.

 

[Pistolero]

If you can do as well, or better with DA as SA, I am in awe of your ability. I have a good friend who used
to WIN at sillywet shooting ......double action. He is VERY GOOD. I am 'usefully good' DA with a revolver, but
not at 200 meters, at least I assume so, never actually having tried it at that range.

One of the fellow students in my concealed carry live fire qualification was shooting .38 Special with a 4" S&W revolver double-action (don't know what model) and his groups were smaller than most of those who were shooting striker-fired snubbies. Course was 10-shot each at 3, 5, and 7-yards, and he wasn't taking his time pulling the trigger nor emptying the spent cases and re-loading with a speed loader. He wasn't a Miculek (sp), -- that's not the point -- just an average Joe who spent the time to learn how to use his revolver. I was impressed.

Right or wrong, my revolver shooting is done single-action. For the live fire qualification, I used the Glock 27 and the Randall 1911.

It's not a matter of "Right & wrong", it is a matter of what works best for you in the venue you are in. For the first 10 years of my career, it was "Any gun you want, as long as it's 38 Special-capable/Colt/S&W/Ruger. The last 18 years opened the options up A LOT, to include bottom-feeders in 4 calibers and 357 Magnum. 300+ make/model variants. I have ALWAYS had at least one 38/357 revolver "on paper" with the shop. I still carry it as my back-country sidearm.

My current stable of wheelguns is nine. Only two are SA only............a BH and a ROA. Given a choice, it will always be DA, the best of both worlds. IMO.

 

[Brad]

Hey Rick, my 624 is getting fired today. I will be sure to ask if it remembers you.

 

[Winelover]

Suppose to rain here, most of the day. Might have to fire up the casting pot.

Hey Rick, my 624 is getting fired today. I will be sure to ask if it remembers you.

Great consolation knowing it has a good home.

 

[Brad]

Great consolation knowing it has a good home.

It does have a good home. It is well appreciated. I feed it only ammo it likes and refuse to over stress it even slightly.
I find that a 265 gr bullet at 725 is plenty. If I need more I have a 44 mag.

 

[Rick]

Hey Rick, my 624 is getting fired today. I will be sure to ask if it remembers you.

Well . . . Did it go bang? Did you tell it I said hello?

 

[Brad]

It did quite well. I had forgotten how well it shoots for me.
It vaguely recalls you but wouldn’t say more.

 

[Pistolero]

How quickly they forget......
