Decocking the revolver

While this book is aimed at double action revolver shooting, it is conceivable that sooner or later you’ll cock your revolver to use it in single action. While I rarely find a need to do so, I’ll admit that it makes shooting beyond a hundred yards or so a bit more consistent.

What if you cock the gun but don’t shoot it? It’s then necessary to decock the gun, and you should be at least passingly familiar with the proper way to do it.

By decocking in this manner you’ll dramatically reduce the chance of a negligent discharge. Go slowly, pay attention to what you’re doing, and keep the gun pointed in a safe direction!

Strong, mechanically efficient grasp is key to good double action shooting.

In this chapter we’re going to put together what we’ve learned about sight picture/alignment and trigger control to make accurate double action shooting easier.
