When started shooting pistols, went with SA semi (45 acp). There were a couple of mistakes made starting this way, but was easier to be accurate with the sa trigger pull, as compared to DA revolver pull. Was more than a couple years till purchased fiirst revolver. While certainly not an expurt DA wheelgunner, have found my accuracy improving with all handguns, while practicing DA revolver trigger.
Wished now had started on 22 DA revolver, concentrating on acclimating to the DA trigger. Once this had been learned, the trigger control may have transferred to almost any type of pistol, fairly quickly. As it is, am starting to appreciate the advantages of DA revolver, especially for house.
For some, it may be better not to have a medium or light sa trigger, in stressfull situations, especially when just waking up from sound slumber. No safety to disengage. Less to go wrong.
This isn't to say there aren't advantages to semi's. These may be include better recoil control and capacity, as compared to similar powered rounds from revolver.
As it is, bedside pistol is now 696. Used to be 45 acp semi.
Am also a handloader, who saves brass. Nothing beats a revolver when there is snow on the ground.
