SA DA

ANd why of why oh why can I shoot a snubbie with a shortened grip and a standard revolver double action trigger pull better than a sweet 1911 SA trigger?  It remains a mystery. 

And when I do use a SA trigger on a revolver it is better than all three.

I think something in my head says that a 1911 isn't a SA, I think.  What do I mean?  I default to pulling the trigger.  PULLing the trigger.  Like I mean business.  If I was defending myself I'd ~pull~ the trigger.  I get better shots when I check myself and sorta ~feather~ the trigger on the trigger squeeze.  It's slower, more deliberate, and totally not what I'd be able to pull off right now in a stressful situation.

Now I PULL that trigger with a DAO revolver.  But that's sorta how you do it, is my understanding.  Get your sight picture and smoothly squeeze straight back. 

And with a SA revolver trigger squeeze I approach THAT more slowly than with a 1911 from the get go.  I know that's just a hair away from going off, so I am being more careful.

This all STILL doesn't explain what happens when I shift gears and MAKE myself shoot the 1911 like a SA revolver.
