From watching Hickok45 shooting revolvers, he seems to be equally precise with single action and double action. For as long as I can remember, I've always been told that single action is more precise. I got curious and did some searching, and found this:
"If the double action is used every time with the revolver, then the trigger will be uniform and the same pull length and weight with every shot. This allows the shooter to grow accustomed to the trigger quicker because it's going to behave the same way every time it is pulled."
For Bullseye shooting, I gave up years ago shooting rapid-fire with a revolver. For me, not possible, not enough time to not only do it, but be precise. But maybe I'm not being open minded enough.
Any thoughts, regarding target shooting?
I'm thinking of any gun, but the specific gun I have in mind is my old S&W Model 28 Highway Patrolman, that Mr. Borland used to help me out so much in this forum maybe ten years ago? I have other revolvers, some of which are considered better for target shooting, but the limiting factor as I see it is me, not the gun.
