Single action for self-defense?

For crying out loud, I'm passing on what Police Officer, Instructor, and Expert witness Ayoob advises. Also, SA revolvers, UNLIKE 1911's, don't have a thumb safety.

Ture, but my thumb safety comes off once I clear the holster.  It's the bugger hook's relationship the the bang switch that makes it safe or dangerous.

both of you make valid points but tom's has merit to the post.

How?....he took my point about a SAA's ability to be cocked as quickly as a 1911's thumb safety can be taken off and started looking for thumb safeties on SAA's.....

You were speaking of the "Ability" of the SA- which i agree with the Actions ability

TomB is quoting Ayoob's experience in legal ramifications. -which i agree DA could argue against us.

Seriously, if you had to use a Colt SAA worry about the ramifications after you point out evidence and hired the BEST counsel your money could buy. Defend yourself in MA against a known felon (with a bloody hatchet, the local girl scouts as witnesses and CCTV video for your defense) with anything and I mean ANYTHING that goes bang or cuts and the victim will be cuffed and stuffed and might see a reasonable bail posted. Maybe not though.

You have got to understand the concept of single action for SD. It is not what the "gun culture" knows, it is what or how the DA paints the picture to the Local Media and the Prosecution does the same for the jury.
