For me, 2nd strike capabilities are not even a thought on the radar. If it doesn't go bang the first time I'm racking the slide.

As a side note- I have had one centerfire round not fire on the first strike and did fire on the second. It was with 125 gr Remington hp ammo in 357 magnum fired out of a Ruger SP101.
