    Oh give me a break. Are you insinuating that a double action revolvercan be fired double action? The things they come up with these days.

    I don't have any training issue. I have a preference. Period. You carry whatever you want, and I will do the same.

    All I can tell you is there's a reason Sig, and CZ make their guns the way they do. ANd it isnt' for looks.

    It goes against everything a revolver was meant to be.
    I carry a DAO revolver as a BUG daily, it works great! Smith model 442. check it out. Trigger is not to heavy, and I dont have any issue hitting paper at 25 yards every time, even when rapid firing. Yes, it make take a little more training to get used to it, but I love the snag free nature or it. I can drop it right in my pocket and pull it at without worrying about it getting stuck or snagged, and if i really have got to, i can fire right through my jacket pocket or whatever i want, and KNOW that it will go off. its nice when you can simplify a process and take steps out of things... makes training alot easier!

    I agree. I'm not saying that a double action revolver shouldn't be fired double action, I mean in a defensive situation, you're just gonna pull it out and fire. There's something about being able to pull back the hammer on a wheel gun when target practicing with it. I guess I'm just a big fan of the Ruger Blackhawks I own.

    I guess I'm just wierd. Sometimes I open carry my .41 Magnum, single action Ruger. I do get some strange looks. I know it's PC and "Cool" to carry the latest Glock or something, but I like it old school.

    Look, you guys are missing my point ok? Alot of firearms manufacturers still make guns with external hammers, simply because customers like me still request it. They would all be internal if they were pointless and unnecessary. I'm not insinuating that any gun with an internal hammer is a piece of shit or anything, ont he contrary, I've owned several.

    I've just always prefered a gun with a hammer that I can SEE moving.
    It's all about what you're comfortable with. I mean, this is something that you are potentially gonna save your life with. It has to be an extension of your arm so to speak. Shouldn't you trust and be intimately familiar with it?
    As far as the Revolvers with enclosed hammers? I still stand by my opinion. I'm sure they work just fine, but man are they goofy looking.
    Imagine what people would think about it if you transported it back 100 years. Who knows, maybe they'd love it.

    That's exactly the reason that I always shop for guns with my great grandma.
