Why Double-Action Revolvers Make You a Better Shooter
If you can shoot a double-action revolver well… you can shoot just about anything well. 🔥
In this clip from S13E9, Caleb Giddings breaks down why mastering an 8–10 lb double-action trigger makes striker-fired pistols feel easy by comparison. We talk about:
• Why heavy DA trigger work builds elite trigger control
• How revolvers teach you NOT to ride the reset
• Why your “permission to shoot” should come from your sights — not a trigger click
• The danger of separating aiming from pressing the trigger
• Why dry firing a revolver (especially with a dot) exposes every flaw in your press
If your dot is drawing figure eights during dry fire… that’s information. And information is how you get better.
Revolvers aren’t outdated — they’re one of the best trigger control training tools you can own.
