Is there any real benfit to a modern SA revolver over a modern DA? With a DA, you can still cock the hammer and fire in SA, so there is no real benefit to the SA there. Plus, with the DA you have the option of firing in DA and reloading is MUCH faster.
One thing I have heard in favor of SAs is that they tend to be very strong. Eg, the Ruger Blackhawks are renowned for taking a steady diet of magnum loads. But is it really that much stronger than say a S&W large frame?
