I cannot see how either of those is true for a DA/SA revolver. BUT--- There are a number of cogent reasons to never shoot single action in self defense unless long-range precision is needed, and to carry DA-only revolvers for defense. This subject has been discussed here on THR at some...

There is an important downside. That spring is there for a reason. That is strongly discouraged for defensive shooting.

Capacity is an issue, but for me, with arthritis and tendinitis, the problem is the DA pull.

Yes it is. Thanks.

Doesn’t change the hammer spring, which is the problem

Had it done. the internal geometry of the J-frame limits what can be done. K-frames, Colts, and Timbers are better. I'm told the LCR is better. I much prefer the Shield EZ.

Those dills are designed to simulate what will be required in real life. Again, if shooting is not required, nothing about the weapon matters at all.

I will not carry a revolver that is not DA only. And a SA revolver would not fare well in defensive training drills.

I started out with a 642. I came to realize a few limitations: The sights and trigger pull prevented me from using if effectively in defensive training drills. Even a Bill Drill required a six shot capacity. Our member JohnKsa ran some analyses based on assumed hit rates and assumed hits...

If you say so. That depends upon what you mean by small. Surely you are not again referring to one with a two ounce capacity. Don't elaborate. This is going way off topic.

It should be plainly obvious that suppressing a sudden blaze--say if a log jumps out of the fireplace, or if there is a grease fire on the stove--can make escape a lot more likely. It may limit the damag,. if the fire can actually be extinguished.. That is inane. The device will be used when...

(Moderator hat on) Lets knock of the snide comments and get back to substantive discussion.

No, but we have smoke detectors; we do not use real candles; and we do keep a number of large fire extinguishers handy. I do not expect to save the house. My objective is egress and survival. So be it.

Exactly. One needs to consider the conditional probability. That is a very basic tenet of risk management. One would not keep a 2 oz fire extinguisher in the kitchen because fires rarely occur. One will know what is needed only when the need arises.

Situations in which a civilian must shoot anyone in lawful defense are exceedingly rare.

What does a subjective feeling of being adequately protected do for anyone? Why would location pertain to capacity need?

I believe that a plea of nolo contendere, rather than one of guilty, provides more clarity on that point.

By pleading guilty, she avoided the risk of a prison sentence and a large fine.

Having seen no relevant facts, I have no reason to believe that or to not believe it
