Anecdote Alert
Armed Women #1 & 2 were considerately furnished double action revolvers by their menfolks.
They discovered that they were a lot easier to shoot if they pulled the hammer all the way back first. This set them up to clear a spooky house with a cocked revolver in hand.
AW#1 was startled by the cat and shot the bed.
AW#2 found no intruder and went to decock. She slipped and shot a hole in the floor.


AW#3 was furnished a Sig P239 DA/SA.
AW#4 bought a S&W 3913 because the salesman showed her it had "Ladysmith" written right on it.
They both developed a technique with both forefingers on the trigger to haul through the double action. They just left them both there for the transition to single action.
