New to revolvers... does anyone actually shoot DA?

[JaxNovice]

I actually have never done IDPA. I was just doing it to see if I could keep the barrel steady Maybe I will break out the Sig and practice the same thing and do an IDPA. I really like the scene in Man on Fire when, after Denzel RPGs the police captains car, he walks up to the car with the long strides peppering the people inside. I have way too much time on my hands.... Actually I have two babies so I have no time on my hands Just time to think about weird stuff during the 3:30 am feedings.

JaxNovice,

I know the feeling, except its just one little boy for me! I won't be getting out the range too much over the next several months, but I'm okay with that. Its fun being a dad!

I remember the first time I heard the dime/penny/whatever coin on the top strap technique. Idiot that I am, I tried standing the thing upright and was getting really freakin' irritated!!! :banghead:

Then I sat it down flat and all was well, DOH!!!

Hells yeah I shoot DA!...

I use a da only GP-100 .38spl for duty use. It's a police surplus(NYPD). I would not think of shooting SA in a critical incident unless I was wounded or could not make an accurate shot under stress. I would only carry DA only revolvers for CC/duty use. A SA/DA may be good for a pocket gun or second/back up but not for your main carry gun.

There are several reasons why you should not shoot SA in a real incident but to keep it short don't do it. Any mall ninjas or gun shop commando jerk offs you tell you it's a good idea should read up on legal/court related shooting cases .
