I have said for years that the reason is due to 13 round semi-auto
hand guns.

With a revolver, you only have six - makes you concentrate.
One of my favorite gun technique books suggests taking only 6 rounds
to the range, no matter what kind of handgun you're shooting. Good
idea.
All my kids were trained that way. In fact, when my youngest went to
the Academy in SC, he noticed that the more bullets they were issues,
the more the used them.

He took his time, minimum shots and did well.

It's the revolver training.

I have a 9mm Glock, but I never carry it unless I'm in the woods. For
just carrying purposes, it's a .357 mag on a .38 frame.
I wouldn't "carry" a semi without a real safety, either, though I do
like shooting a Glock at the range. Is that a single or double action
.357?
single action hammerless.

Wouldn't want it to get caught on the shirt. :)

Geeez. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a SA hammerless .357 mag. But
there's a lot of pistols I've not seen. If it is hammerless, how do you
cock it?
Oy.

You don't cock it.

Thank you.

Intersting Harry has never seen one. They are pretty common.


As I said, the only SA action revolvers I have handled were
"traditional." The photo on the page you reference there seems to be a
DA ruger.

I think you're losing track of the discussion. You said this:

"Geeez. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a SA hammerless .357 mag. But

it?"

OK now? That's what we were responding to. However, to be fair, I ignored
"SA" because it wasn't relevant, compared to "hammerless". Obviously, the
two ideas don't belong together, and "SA" has no relevance to this
discussion.

It did to me. Tom said he carried a single action hammerless revolver.
I was curious how he cocked it. So there!

OK. That's true. Maybe Tom was messing with your head, something that's
never happened before in this NG.

SA = Single Action, the hammer MUST be cocked for each shot (assuming a
revolver), DA = Double Action it can be fired with a pull of the trigger
only or (if it has a hammer) in SA mode to reduce the trigger pull..

Harrys comment was completely relevant. It is the distinction that makes the
difference.

Harry's comments are *always* relevant!

He used to be totally down on handguns, the NRA, digital cameras, etc.,
until he got his. Now he's an expert on them in addition to his other areas
of expertise.
