One thing I've never understood is why there is no overlap between DA and SA revolver. SA revolvers are always loaded via a loading get, SA (obviously), and have the traditional gunfighter grip. DA revolvers have a swing out cylinder, DA trigger (obviously) and a much modern grip with a recoil shelf.
Both systems have advantages, but I can't understand why you can't combine them and get the best of both systems. For instance, SA actions are strong, since there is no crane to swing and work loose, or cause play. Why not have a SA style frame, with a DA trigger, and a DA style grip (and no, Bisley style is close, but not the same as a DA style grip)? I don't see why, other than for the sake of tradition, these 2 platforms have not been crossbred.
