[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 2975779, member: 745"] What you say makes sense, especially with such a powerful handgun. It this instance, the gun was nearly ripped from his hand by the recoil and it would be a tossup whether the second firing was a result of a reflex or as you say as a result of the gun moving in his grip. I did notice that the first shot was single action which would have led to only light pressure necessary on the trigger which would have easily allowed the trigger to reset under recoil and the reflexive 'grasp' to maintain control of the gun to pull the trigger dual action. We may both be right. If his first shot was dual action, it is possible his grip and force necessary to pull the trigger dual action might have been enough to prevent the trigger from resetting and result in the second firing. Let us hope there was a lesson learned. Next time he might not be so lucky. So, yes, start with only one round the first few times until you become familiar with such a hand cannon. Good advice.
