Hi,
Excuse please if this has been covered. If so I didn't see it. There is so much commentary on the web and YouTube etc. and i have seen several posts where different revolvers by different manufacturers are inevitably compared. There seems to be a generalized web consensus that with Colt revolvers, and I don't know exactly which ones or which years this applies to, that you have to let the trigger return 100% to the pre-pull position before taking the next shot or you jam the gun and it won't fire again until you clear it. I saw one post where an "expert shot" got off 6 rounds with some S&W in .78 of a second in a 3 inch group at 50 feet, but using a Python he said he had to take his finger completely off the trigger for a fraction of a second to let it completely reset before he could shoot it again, so that increased his time, an issue he didn't have with some of the other manufacturers he tried. Apparently some revolvers don't need to let the trigger return all the way before you can pull it again.
For me it isn't a race, and I haven't had any jams going as fast as I'm comfortable with double action. So this isn't a question that has critical repercussions in my life, but I am curious. It would seem that every gun has it's different features and applications, and the variety becomes almost infinite when you throw in customization. I just wonder if any of you have noticed this aspect of (some?) Colt revolvers and how it has affected your style, especially if you are into speed shooting.
My final take on this is that like any "hobby", or obsession, as the case may be, cars, guitars, guns,..... you get to a point where you just need the capital to get representative pieces of different kinds for whatever your purpose is. And advertising can make it seem that you NEED to have these things in every color of the spectrum. When a class of material objects gets it's addictive claws into you, well, I guess you have to pity the under-financed collector. I can think of a lot of things that would be great to own. Tonight I though how pleasant it'd be to own an old, over 250 years old, large sailing ship converted into a beautiful yacht -home, something I'm sure I could accomplish for a few hundred million USD. But the USA, as we continue to hyperinflate, in a couple years, a new Colt may cost a quarter million USD.
Derailed again. Any thoughts on comparative trigger-cycling? Thanks , ......
