Why not? Although most people on the 'net are steel nerved cool cucumbers, I'll probably be pretty tense in a self defense situation. When I hear of people with striker fired self defense guns with three pound triggers, I know they're much better warriors than myself. I have guns like that for fun, and if they were all I had at the time I would not be inclined to give up. But my car gun is an old S&W Sigma that has at least a ten pound pull, but it's short and smooth. If I shoot someone with it, I meant to. Law enforcement somehow managed heavier double action pulls on S&W revolvers for many, many years.
