But how it points one-handed, it tells you the story of what it was designed for.
The thing that I love about this new one is you could bust caps on this thing, double action, all day long, and you're not really going to encounter too much of an issue.
I finally found a very compelling use case for keeping a hammer spur on my guns.
And it's because I shoot competitively and I shoot speed loader guns competitively.
I like to, after I load and make ready, close the cylinder up i'll pull that hammer spur back just enough to let the cylinder free wheel and i'll spin that cylinder one because it looks really cool and it just absolutely mogs everybody else who's shooting but two it also allows me to check for high primers so i know at the very least yes yes yes those first six rounds all that gun's gonna cycle that i've got no high primers no bulged brass or anything like that i'm like all right we're good to go for at least those first six rounds, but also, but you know, my carry guns are either DA, you know, they're either shrouded hammer guns or they've been converted to DAO for a lot of them.
You know, when I was shooting Smith's exclusively, I converted all of my, like if I, I don't have a K frame or an L frame or an end frame in there, that's not converted to double action and huge shout out to the, Apex Tactical, if you guys are looking to, if you've got like a K-frame or an L-frame, and you want to put an absolutely smoking good trigger in there, and you are slightly smarter than you need to be to be a Glock armorer, you can get one of the Apex... it's a little bit more complicated than changing parts of the Glock.
But those Apex tactical action, basically action jobs in a bag are phenomenal just as a starting point for people to really put a good action.
Like if it's a modern production Smith, like absolutely, you know, rip whatever guts Smith put in there out, put the forged Apex parts in there, go to town.
