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.

(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

Folks, we have strayed from the subject.

And plumbers, carpenters….
