Oh really? Ever here of Bob Munden? Munden can fire 2 shots from a single action revolver fast enough that they sound like 1 http://www.bing.com/videos/wat...den%20video%7C%7C%7C http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hujvVmuLuoM _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||

BS. A single action can be fired accurately just as fast in a hunting situation especially with a heavy kicker _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||

I agree JWP. I took one of my black bear with my BFR in 500 Mag. I was filming the hunt, and I took 2 shots very fast with my single action. A lot of people cannot believe how fast the second shot was from the first. No matter what you shoot in a big bore, the recoil is going to determine just how fast you can shoot the gun accurately on a follow up shot. On a single action, the hammer can be cocked while the gun is in recoil, and ready to shot the second you are back on target. I don't buy into the double action is faster then a single action. If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Member of the Delaware Destroyers Member Reeders Misfits NRA Life Member ENDOWMENT MEMBER NAHC Life Member DSA Life Member | |||

Munden's revolvers are very tricked to allow him to do what he does, and we all know it. He also shoots with a glove on so he can use the hammer instead of the trigger. The trigger stays back and rotation is done by thumbing the hammer. And eight feet... WOW! Really? Eight whole feet? How many animals you going to see hunting that are eight feet away? Comparing what he does to making a second shot in a hunting situation is apples to oranges. Typically, and I have to be careful with that word, a single action's hammer throw is longer than a double action, DWs being a recognized exception. That extra length, for most of us, is sufficient for it to take longer. Not appreciably so, but still longer. | |||

Ed Mcgiven was brought up to reference how fast a double action can be fired, so I mention Mundun. All speed shooter hand guns are highly modified, both double and single action. Have you ever seen Mundun break an egg at 100 yards with a 1911 in 45 ACP shooting it free handed? The guy can shoot close and far. As Redhawk1 posted above the recoil deterines the speed of the secound shot and that is the way it is July the 13th 2011. _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||

Make most of mine DA. Just feel better to me. I have a Ruger BH in .45 LC and I enjoy it, but it is the only SA I own. I have shot several SBH in .44 mag. I just don't like the "twist" that comes from heavy loads in a SA. I'd much rather have the "push" from a DA. Just me. You may enjoy something else. | |||

I hunt with both and like them both. As long as the revolver is accurate, I'm a happy man....... "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid." JWP If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming. Semper Fidelis "Building Carpal Tunnel one round at a time" | |||

I like the feel of the DA grips better than the various plow-handle grips of my SA's. Of course, I shoot the DA in SA mode, though I must admit, I am interested in getting used to my DA mode when it comes to an upcoming cape buffalo hunt in a few years. No doubt, an SA would work but I just like the feel of a DA revolver. | |||

Have you ever handled/shot a single action revolver with a Bisley grip frame? "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid." JWP If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming. Semper Fidelis "Building Carpal Tunnel one round at a time" | |||

I've got both and used many different revolvers over the years. I shoot my da's in single action too so I like both. Like was just said, if its accurate, I shoot it. I do have a soft spot for my single action rugers. Love my SBH! | |||

I did a little more "testing" today with a customer's .44 SBH. It shoots nice and I like the gun, but the SRH is so much more comfortable to me. I guess that settles if for me. Of course I will still need to get SA just to say I have one. You can't have too many revolvers. Curtis | |||
