Single Action Vs. Double Action

[coop44]

I don't know, I sure like being able to blast away in double action. I sure like being able to hit something in single action. Hmm, gonna hafta think about it ( smoke coming from ears, gears grinding ) Iam dun thunkin 'bout it, evy time I shoot my dubba action I cock it anyhoo

Seriously I converted a s+w mod 14 to single action a long time ago. I can still hit a pie tin at 50 yards ( gotta aim just over the top )almost every time.
all the plus of a double action with the sweet trgger of a single action

sure its a 38 but it all depends how you define firepower, being able to hit with one shot, or just shoot and holla sh*t

I ran a combat course with a single action revolver. The course was designed for semiauto pistols to shoot 18 rounds in 85 seconds in different stages. I ran the course in 87 seconds and hit all the targets. Of course it included reloadings. If you are getting better with the S/A, you can shoot accurately and fast.

Under the pillow

The only advantage I can think of for a single action for home defense is that you can sleep with it under your pillow without worrying about pulling the trigger in your sleep, but you'd have to be pretty paranoid to want to sleep with a gun under your pillow.

Nah, it's just common sense

Jim just made me want a single action revolver!

Also, I may have just missed it, but did you mention what model your revolver is, pictured earlier in the thread?
