Hmmm...... now that I think about it, while I could somewhat "see" the sight picture after shooting, this was in SA, as that's all I shot back then. But yes, I could clearly see if the shot was good or bad, before looking at the target.
Because I'm so slow, I think the same trick is working for me now in DA, as both SA and DA take me a long time to actually fire. My trigger finger moves as slowly as I can manage, for both.
Side note:
I went to check this out an hour or so ago, and once again noticed how "tired" my trigger finger gets with the stock springs. I took the gun apart, just enough to replace the main spring and the slide return spring, using the Brownell's (Wolff) spring kit:
Wolff Power Rib Mainspring Type 2 - Reduced Power and
Wolff 14 pound Rebound Spring
The kit came with 13, 14, and 15 pound rebound springs, so I picked the middle choice. Unlike the main spring that came from Wilson (which I still think is wrong, even though they tell me it's not), this Wolff mainspring is a full length spring that fits into the gun just as the stock parts did.
The mainspring tension screw is now fully tightened, and the gun is much easier to shoot. The Trigger Pull Scale averages 8 pounds (+/- .5 pounds).
Back to your comment, I'm trying to visualize what would be happening with a rifle...... is this with metal sights of some type, or a scope? Standing and un-supported? Wow. You must have VERY steady hands and arms!!! It would seem to me that you'd still have a very long "shutter", but I don't know enough about rifle shooting to even make a guess.
Oh, and I should thank all of you guys, along with Jerry and the S&W Manual, for making the spring installation quite simple.
