(Oyeboten )...
one pauses ever so slightly just before that point, for deciding a liesured Aim.

Well, if one wanted to hit anything at long range, one would shoot a DA revolver SA.
I'm talking coyotes or deer at 100 yards or further, or gongs at 300 yards or more. You don't see very many people shooting DA at those distances and hitting anything.
I never saw an NRA Bullseye shooter use a K-38 Masterpiece DA for score either! They even made some of them SA only.
Hi rc,
Of course, the liability of generalizations, are not only the inevitable exceptions, but, the sometimes very incomplete subjective narrowing of view they are framed in...such as my prior post shows only too well..!
Lol...
I had in mind the ordinary distances, or ordinary Shooting...
And, I had in mind, how relatively few people use Double-Action for acurate Shooting, and or, do not imagine it possible...when in fact, it is not only possible, but, far more effective when intending to deliver multiple shots quicly and accurately.
Granted, yes, for really long distance, in aSlow-Fire mode, one would elect the Single Action mode for one's Double-Action Revolver.
But, anyone who has come to evolve a familiariy and second-nature with their DA Revolver, and the cadance of firing and of geting back on Target as the Hammer is falling, if 50 yards or less, would probably not abandon DA, to favor SA...unless in a Slow Fire event of some sort.
No handgun is supposed to roll up in the grip you say?
This is maybe a little less than clear for me.
The relatively little SA type Revolver shooting as I have done, I do not recall having to re-establish my Grip, for each shot, anyway...if that is what we are considering here.
Look at a Colt or Remington of any model, percussion or cartridge, or a Ruger Blackhawk SA.
That grip was, in fact, supposed to roll up in the hand during recoil so you could cock the hammer with your thumb for the next shot quickly & easily.
The designers found out very early that that disn't work for DA guns, and changed the grip design to lock the gun in your hand.

Well...I don't remember the Pistol 'rolling up'...so, I'll have to wait till I may again be shooting a Colt SAA or similar, to get a feel for what this is about.
But, if one has to re-establish a new or fresh grasp for every shot, merely in order o cock the Revolver, it does sound a little inconvenient, especially if one is seeking to be returning fire in a tense situation...
I was shooting an early re-pro of a Colt Navy, in the 1960s and early '70s, and, I shot it a lot, always one handed. Possibly, retaining a steady grip by cocking it using the thumb of my free hand...I don't remember how I was cocking it, only, I recall no re-establishing of my grip for every round...but without one to hold and point with now, it's hard to say...
Interesting though!
