    backyard report: 1991a1, mk9, p97. single six

    Caveats: I'm a newbie hangunner. In the last few months I've put about 900 rounds through various handguns. I am not an great shot. 8 inch groups (6-8 shots per group), off hand, one and two handed, at 40 feet are the current norm. 1991a1: 200 rounds mostly 230 gr fmj, approx. 20 230gr...

For example why would someone buy a Blackhawk rather than a Redhawk, assuming both felt good in their hand and they are not going to shoot cowboy? Since a DA revlovler can fire SA by cocking it the same as a SA only revolver it would...
