These revolvers are difficult to shoot double action , actually they are kind of hard to shoot single action too LOL
Stiff action and a steep grip angle contribute to this
But I like them ;-)
I was issued a Colt 1917 revolver by my PD. I adjusted the mainspring a bit and one year shot a 59/60 on the state qualification course. It was still a mite heavy in double action, but very smooth.
