@JUGO49 Not with the "Hollywood Western" methods here. I'd NEVER cock the gun in the holster while using live ammo!! This stuff is just for fun, folks. It's plenty challenging with primer-powered wax bullets, but without quite the danger of powder and lead. Let's keep it that way!
chris i assume u use pepper corn or rice or something with a primer, iam not entirely sure, i gatta know have u ever discharged one of these rice/peppercorn rounds into your leg?
From mistakes of dexterity, I have had a couple go off shy of clearing leather, but because of steel lining, there was no damage to holster, and only a deflected spray of to the leg. HOWEVER- I have twice(in about 20 years or so)had a trigger break, sending either powder or a wax bullet straight down the holster as soon as my thumb came off the hammer. Wearing a light leather blast shield under my jeans, along with steel toed boots, prevented injury in both cases.
@extondude I'm not expert with revolvers, and can't say that I have much expertise in the field of using handguns (unlike rifles), but I'd say that more modern double action revolvers are intended to be fired in double action mode in such scenarios.
@extondude Affirmative, but I reckon they were provided with the ability to fire in DA for a reason. Again I'm not an expert, but the author of the video has admitted that the techniques presented above should be used in recreational shooting, not self defense scenarios. I don't think there's any point in shooting a SA/DA revolver in single action mode when time is a factor. DA mode was intended to spare time, SA mode was left in some revolvers for added accuracy in some conditions.
Chris, what happens whit another kind of guns, like Smit and Wesson Russian or Schoffield, for example: Are they adecuated for this kind of shooting? does the techniqe changes in any point?
The hammers on the S&W and the Schofield aren't condusive to the "Hollywood" type of fast draw.
With real world techniques, we'd never slap the hammer back with the gun in the holster in any case. Guns would be drawn, then cocked, then fired. From that standpoint, they were all mighty effective, in that it was the shooter, not the gun , that made the difference.
Excellent ! Thanks Chris. Watching and listening to your demonstration was like having a best mate pop round on a Saturday afternoon to share something new and very interesting.
Awesome Vides! I work in a old west comedy show and as of last week run a fast draw booth with a timer in Virginia City NV, My best time so far is .44 of a sec Havent seen faster that that yet although I know thats not even close to the fastest there is. Do you know what your time is? because you look really fast buddy. Great vid, take care :)
can you imagine someone quick drawing western style to fend off an attacker

how would you use this technique with more modern revolvers?

@stridingshadow true, but modern revolvers can also be fired as if they were single action
