I have two double action revolvers, a 4" security six and a 3" S&W .41 mag 657. I am fully aware that I need to take a handgun class, the one day with an M9 shooting with the homeboys in Army does not really count.
I am a MUCH better shot with the security six which is purely a matter of practice (.38 special and .357 reloads are a lot cheaper than .41 mag). The trigger on the 657 just messes with me, it is a much softer pull and breaks in a different place than the security six. I carry the 657 when in the woods since it is a perfectly capable bear gun if it ever comes up, not that the .357 isn't but the .41 is better and besides they are "just" black bears.
I have a habit with the security six that I get roughly on target, partially pull the trigger, then aim tight and finish the trigger pull. Serves me well with that gun. I try that with the S&W and because of the trigger differences I end up prematurely firing a lot (note, it is perfectly safe, the gun is pointed down range sort of at the target and whatnot and I even get it on the paper when I do that more often than not).
My question is should I even be shooting that way or should I be training my self to just do a smooth trigger pull all the way though even on double action?
