I'm just interested in what advocates can actually do as opposed to what they believe they can do.
This is the crux of the matter, isn't it?
I've seen and heard many a shooter say how fast they were. Sometimes, they held the belief erroneously, but could cite how that belief came to be.
There was a cop who thought he had a one second reload. He based this on a course of fire that had a one second delay between target facings that you were to reload between. The problem was, the targets turned slow and had a pneumatic "whoosh" that preceded the turn. Long story short, he actually had 3-4 seconds to do his reload.
But most others "feel" they are fast or good, but have nothing to base that on beyond their "feeling" about it.
Now, please understand that may not be the case here.
As I said, I'll go to the range this week and make some comparisons between SA and DA revolvers.
But to be honest, I'm reluctant to post my results. In Post #67 I SUGGESTED a drill and even specified it was a SUGGESTION.
Yet, despite that, Mavracer and CraigC interpreted my SUGGESTED drill was instead a requirement. And by what authority did I have to impose such a requirement on others?
It will be charged that:
1) I didn't try hard enough with the SA so as to support my argument,
2) I am simply not skilled enough with an SA, which supports their argument.
One may claim they could do it better/faster with their SA than I did with mine, but they don't own a shot timer and therefore can't be proven wrong.
So I'm only doing this for MY edification, no one else's.
(But if my SA times are within a 1/2 second of the DA, I'll have to post that)
Either way, I'd be happy to meet these guys IN a bar. I'll even buy the first round!
