I'm not meaning to outright disagree with anybody here but I think Jerry Miculek and Ed McGivern might when told semis and single actions shoot faster than double action revolvers.

SD is too serious to try to be 'cool'. If you can shoot a single action gun with repeat back up shots as fast as a double action, knock yourself out.

To me getting the hammer cocked is just one place where I can't afford to lose tiem.

The point is that you DON'T shoot a single action like other guns.
First , an SA is very "pointable" if held correctly.[most SD shooting is at pointing ranges]
Second,they are quit powerful [for a handgun] as a 357 is "small".
They can be very safe as they remain uncocked till needed[that schooling thing again.
They are a one-handed gun[ the other might be busy- wife /kids dog/horse
So you have a onehanded gun that you place the FIRST round in the middle, then see if another is needed.
See the english bulldog revolvers, [ps the Fuzzy Wuzzy's took drugs]
I am comming to the realization that we are teaching/being taught
not to "stop"[end of threating action] but to "terminate"[shoot till their down /till its empty]
The single action grip allows me to shoot more powerful rounds
[isn't that a good thing?] with out pain, the trigger allows called shots[in the middle] the big hammer tells me is it is cocked/or cock it .
The low round count forces me to conserve [the more you shoot the more you can miss cops hit 20 to 30% CCWs hit 30 to 40%]
AND its NOT plastic ,ammo sensative , OR BLACK[ That might scare
the 12 peoples you want on your side!!!!!!]

Once upon a time the Police were the Police, and the Military was the Military. Both were well trained professionals who did the job assigned to them exceedingly well.

But then someone decided the Police should adopt Military weapons and tactics. And I will even personally agree that there is a place for Special Services.

But Military work is different from Police work which is different from a Civilian acting in self defence.
