Really? I'm surprised! Why would it need a heavy pull if the recoil cocked the hammer and turned the cylinder? If you're going to have a heavy pull, you might as well go double action.
In single action it is a very light trigger pull it is double action that is the hard pull. Once you've shot that first round in double then the recoil takes over. SO every time I had to reload then the first shot would have to be double action or cock then single action.
I hope I am making sense I am so emotionally and physically spent tonight I can't think straight.
Yes, you made perfect sense. I understand completely. Thanks for the explanation. Get some sleep.

I have two quick comments.
1. If the gun worked the same as it did last week and the week before that, it's not the gun that failed.
2. I know many students who scored more than 90% the first time so I worry if an instructor can't.

No offense intended. I thought shooting was something we were supposed to know before taking the class. If the gun broke during the test that's a different story.

Most students dont qualify with revolvers at all. Are you a CHL instructor?

His "opinion" doesn't bother me. It is his opinion and he doesn't know me or how well I shoot. He read a couple of posts and decided to make a uneducated statement. I can and WILL get my instructors license. Putting people down is no way to make friends. I have a lot of friends on this board and I have not met a single one of them but I know they are pulling for me.

And the last comment I am going to give that guy. A CHL instructor is to teach firearm safety and the laws of having a CHL not to teach how to shoot!

mommagamber, when do you have to reshoot? I doubt your husband's semi auto revolver would be accepted. Shooting double action is easy with a gun that's tuned and set up for it and sp,epme who knows how to shoot DA gives you a little coaching. You have my contact info let's get you qualified.

Let us know if they allow it.
Right! There are only 1600 of them in the country and hubby has 6 and 8 inch barrel for it. It is worth a pretty penny. May have to pay for our retirement. It is so funny when hubby starts to explain how it works to people they look at him like he is crazy.
You own both a Chiappa Rhino and a Mateba Autorevolver? Those are two of the craziest revolvers ever made! You have something against plain old, normal, everyday revolvers?
Really, I wish you were closer to DFW. I have a Ruger GP100 that has been to more instructor schools than I have, and no one has ever failed to qualify with it. It has a great trigger, and is well balanced. This is what you need to be looking for. Something tried and true and easy on the hands.
Good luck to you! You can do it.
