Were you SP folks trained to fire single-action or double action?
My 15-4 has a smooth combat trigger that, for me at least, is much easier to manipulate in DA firing than the TT would be.

I was taught to use both SA and DA fire. As I recall, the idea was to cock the hammer if the opponent was over 15 yards away. But instruction may have varied by base and time.
I was second man in my graduating class at what was then AP school at Lackland AFB. I still have an honor citation for that, I think.
Someone posted here awhile back that the target hammer and trigger were to make the gun more useable with gloves on. Don't know how true that is. I heard that LeMay was desperate to get his troops shooting passably, and he may have thought that the target parts would help. I really prefer the std. hammer and trigger on K-frames.
We were issued a swivel holster, but they were in short supply and I often wore a Threepersons holster made for me by a shoe repair shop in Dallas. Also had a Lawrence holster, but don't know the model number. Bought it off-base in Denver.
