When I shoot a DA I shoot DA---
When I shoot a SA I shoot SA--
Staging the trigger is the same as shooting SA.

And exactly "where" is that?Staging the trigger is the same as shooting SA.
What's the whole purpose of even having a two-stage trigger if you're not supposed to stage it if you want?
Distinction noted. Also please scroll back to post #23. I plead guilty of imprecision.A double action pistol trigger is not a two stage trigger.
I also stage my trigger when shooting at targets beyond 50 yards...definitely when shooting at 100 yardsJerry Miculek recommends staging the trigger pull for slow fire
I don't think the use of a verb with the use of an adjective should be confusing at allButttttttt .... mitigating circumstances: is not the gun world also guilty of imprecision by using the terms "staging" a DA pistol trigger and then referring to a "two-stage" rifle trigger, when in fact they're not one and the same? Using the same term where context determines its definition is not a good way to define terms and contributes to communication confusion.
I always thought my P250's trigger was very much like my S&W revolvers DA triggers. All were/are smooth through the stroke.I have a P250 .22, and I messed around with staging it at the range. Eventually what I ended up with was a slow pull vs. a fast pull. That might be because, unlike shooting a revolver in double action, the P250 trigger feels smooth all the way through the pull. The question I found myself asking was when to stop and why. Without a mechanical "wall," it makes the most sense to just keep your eyes on the front sight and just keep pulling -- slowly if you have time, quickly if you don't.
True, but I think the topic is what to do with a DAO revolver.Like others, except as an impractical stunt, I see no reason to waste your time learning the staging "technique". If you want a light trigger pull in a da revolver, cock the hammer.
Staging a DA S&W revolver trigger is a very useful technique in slow fire competition. 30 years ago I saw many guys using it in matches so I learned to do it.
No. I am a USPSA, bowling pin and steel shooter. I have never competed in "Bullseye". Staging a DA revolver trigger is useful when you have to suddenly switch from close in targets to targets at 40 or 50 yards. I haven't thumb cocked a DA revolver for many years even though most of mine still have SA operation. I do have a number of SA revolvers though for long range games. My carry guns are all revolvers and they can be thumb cocked but I never use them that way.When you say "slow fire competition", are you referencing Bullseye matches? I've been competing in Bullseye events for over fifty years and I can tell you I've never seen a dao revolver in competition. Too, when using da revolvers, almost every serious competitor fired the slow-fire phase (ten shots in ten minutes) in the sa mode. There would be little reason to "stage" a da revolver to get a lighter trigger pull (the only reason to do so, as far as I know) when all you have to do is cock the hammer.
