I am guessing that the two terms in the heading refer to the distance the trigger travels before it encounters the sear and actually begins the process of releasing the hammer and firing the round.
Am I correct in assuming that the best way to fire a handgun that has take-up is to (1) squeeze until the take-up distance has been passed, and then (2) pull the trigger the rest of the way to release the hammer from the sear? In other words, I am suggesting that one can be more accurate by pulling the trigger in two distinct phases, rather than in one single pull.
Today I fired two accurate autos. My Ruger P-89 has considerable take-up in single action. My Star PD has no take-up, as soon as you pull the trigger you are pushing on the sear. The Star has about the shortest, lightest trigger I have ever encountered. I suspect that a trigger job was done. The Ruger single action trigger is not nearly as short nor light. But both were accurate when following the guidelines I mentioned above.
