I must be odd, too (wouldn't be the first time I've been told that...  ). When I worked as an armed guard, I had to qualify with different handguns. I always got higher scores with my issued 4" S&W Model 10, factory stock except for grips, than my customized/accurized 1911. I have no scientific/factual basis for it, but I always thought it was the "rolling" of the DA trigger that helped me get more of a "surprise" break than the short, light SA trigger. |
I like 1911s and shoot them regularly, but have found them more difficult to shoot well in comparison with a double-action revolver like the Model 10 S&W. 1911s can be excellent and accurate shooters, but take far more pratice than a Model 10. I can't think of a better centerfire handgun for a beginner than a Model 10.
