I did not reference revolvers in any way. I don't know where you got that.

If you don't like the heavy trigger pull of the DA you can still manually cock the hammer for the first shot.

Although I respect your knowledge of pistols (as it is far greater than mine), I remember shooting Pops' pistols, and I remember that the guns in double-action always had long trigger pulls, and the guns in SA had light trigger pulls. Maybe I remembered incorrectly. I do know that one of his guns was a DA hammerless, and it was a tiny thing, difficult to shoot.
