I do target shooting as a hobby but I’m genuinely curious. The US is known (for better and worse) for it’s culture of gun ownership but the US is also know for widely differing experiences

    Hammerless means double action only (DAO). That means that the trigger pull will be VERY hard.

    This is excellent for concealed carry (it makes it more difficult to accidentally pull the trigger), but it is poor for target shooting (a harder trigger pull will put strain on your arm in general, which will “walk” the barrel).

      Yes this is something I was warned of and have considered. As a self defence weapon, I don’t want my firearm to have safetys or other things to fuck around with while I’m being approached or threatened by a potential assailant.

      There are plans to spend many hours at the range after purchase to ensure I am fully aware of how the extra strain will affect my aim so I may use the device correctly and with minimal risk of stray fire.
