Double Action - How much am I missing out on?

[ralph]

It wasn't what I was looking for (S&W Model 10) but it doesn't seem like a bad deal... what are P-F's thoughts?

I have a Colt Rail Gun I might try and trade for this:

Buy it, buy it now..I have one, if you want a pistol to learn DA on, this will work wonderfully. Besides that, the Match Champion is a very versitle handgun, excellant for target shooting, home, personal defense, should work well for hunting. Not to mention it's built like a tank, and with a mimiumal amount of care should last decades..

I bought the inexpensive SIG SP2022 to A) learn, enjoy and master the TDA trigger system and B) improve my trigger control with any platform. I feel that I accomplished both.

one of the best deals out there

Shot my new to me Compact P250 9mm.



While I think the trigger could break just a tad earlier , it’s still easy to shoot and the trigger is smooth.


The recoil impulse is a little different to me but nothing I don’t think I could get used to.

IMO the DA trigger press and subsequent reset is a tad bit longer than that of a S&W revolver. I've been playing with the .22 and have been happy with it thus far.

So do I. Last handgun I will ever get rid of.

Yup, same for me and my S&W M13-3 3". Recently got it an understudy and something I can train with in the form of a M13-8 4". Hardly used, last issue before the lock but has the frame mounted firing pin.

I think the frame mounted FP is an improvement. MUCH easier to change if it needs it and brings no negatives that I can tell.

Fully agree and my 38 y/o M18 .22 has one too, no problems.

I've been hearing about how useful a double action is in learning to shoot well.

I don't have a DA pistol, and I'm wondering if I should get one. Don't really have a huge want for one, but if it gives me a quantifiable improvement shooting my Glocks, I could see it being worthwhile.

If it's worth getting a DA pistol, what do you recommend?

The best way to improve shooting your Glocks is to shoot Glocks. A revolver trigger or the 92FS aren't gonna help with shooting a Glock. They may make you question why you are even messing with Glocks. Both the S&W revolver and the Beretta are precision guns compared to a Glock. I usually shoot S&W revolvers and 1911 guns and I'm having a problem getting used to the crunchy trigger on my Glock 19, if it doesn't smooth up I'm gonna sell it to a Glock guy and be done with it. I have shot the 92FS quite a bit and it has a nice smooth double action pull and a good single action pull.
Spend your money on ammo for your Glocks.
