Double vs. Single Action

[PaulyBagODonutz]

Still not disavowing my initial response/observation to your comment in THIS thread I see.

I only see you trying to troll on my post and insinuate you know anything about me.
Cheers

My Ruger LCR in 38sp has too much recoil for my wife and she will not shoot it. My wife is an experienced shooter too. I have never tried +p ammo in it but it is stout on regular .38. You really need to let your daughter try it before you buy it as it is not a bargain if she won't pick it up again.

Sounds to me like some wives need .22 cuz if 9mm and 380/and or 38 have to much recoil etc maybe a .32 or .25 or .22 is better suited for them.

When I had a wife she shot(quite well I might add) and carried a shield .40sw. She is 5’7” and 110ish btw.

Said it before and I’ll say it here
Learn to manage the recoil no matter the caliber.

Its CALLED GUN CONTROL.

ya. my daughter is 5'5 110# soak and wet. she shot both of my .380's and the 9MM, once. Ive stressed constantly about anticipating the recoil but she flinches. I just dont like her not having anything other than sprays or high lumin flashlights. I was hoping a small revolver would work for her.

After a few rounds she does better. i may just work on showing her some .22's.

SA-DA is my preference for revolvers and semi's.. love my CZ pistols for just that reason.

Every now and then, I view some of his comments just to remind me why I put him on my ignore list. Just ignore him.

Actually for two guns shooting the same rounds and weighing the same the recoil on a revolver is probably worse. Physics. One option might be something like a keltec p32 which is a very gentle shooter. Better than a 22, easy to carry. 32acp especially with Lehigh defense ammo is nothing to sneeze at.

22 mag.

I have 2 LCR in 38 and 2 LCRX in 38. At 7 -10 yards I shoot DA almost as well as SA. Both are fine for close range self-defense. I use the LCR for pocket carry & the LCRX for appendix carry, both have <2" barrels. I shot them better with 3 finger grips but they printed more than I wanted so it's back to the 2 finger grips. 25 rounds of +P & my hand is numb so they don't get shot a lot. One LCRX has a 3" barrel & I shoot it way better than the others. Extra inch of sight radius makes a difference.

LCR in 22lr or even 22 Mag might be a good place to start.

If she gets comfortable there then the same in 38 Special may feel okay to her.

The trigger pull in the LCR's that I've shot are absolutely horrible. I traded the 22 Magnum LCR that I had not long after I first shot it.
The only handgun that I've shot with a worse trigger pull was a Bond Arms Derringer.

Damn! I've always kinda' wanted a derringer. I don't mind a semi-heavy trigger as long as it's smooth. The exposed trigger on most derringers would make me very cautious. Aren't there some derringers that have an actual trigger guard?

If you come to the reunion in October ask @robertc1024 to bring his makarov. That LCR will be a joy to shoot comparatively lol

Try a Keltic PMR 30. 30 rounds of .22 mag.and easy to shoot. Full size and light.

This may be due to the need for a heavy strike on a rimfire. My LCR in 38 has a good trigger but heavy recoil.

Bond Arms has a trigger guard that you can remove if you choose.

Most "double action" revolvers can be fired single-action. I can't recall firing any double action as a double action except in practice.

Get her a Sig P238. Minimal recoil, great trigger and holds 7+1. For the size, exceptionally accurate too.
