I am not sure what this thread is about.
He's just stating his opinions. Except for the last sentence, maybe. I read that as a invitation to argue..
Personally, I find that I disagree with him on a couple points.
For example, I've found that any reasonable trigger weight can be shot quickly and accurately. I define 'reasonable trigger weight' as up to 10 or 11 pounds or so. Even 12 is doable with reasonable accuracy if you are paying attention to technique and sacrifice a bit of speed. Much over that and the strain of pulling the trigger becomes a detriment to accuracy, in my experience.
Then again, I'm one of those 'old school shooters' that learned, in part, how to shoot handguns with a DA revolver. Wonders of Wonders, I learned how to shoot it double action, with speed and accuracy, with a 9 pound trigger pull. At the time, I thought that 9 pounds was pretty good since, back in the day, DA wheelgunners considered an 8 pound trigger pull to be 'light'.
Based on how much 'my trigger's too hard to pull to shoot accurately,' stuff I read on the internet, I guess the DA wheelgun shooters of days past were just tougher than we are today.
IN MY OPINION, if one has to have a '5 pound or less' trigger pull to be able to shoot accurately, I think that one might need to put on their big boy panties and set to getting stronger so they can actually shoot a gun with a reasonable trigger pull weight.
That's what I did back when I was learning to shoot DA revolvers. I was just over 6 foot tall, weighed 145 pounds and was shooting bowling pin matches- shooting Double Action- with a N frame Smith in .45 Colt using a 255gr Keith SWC running about 900fps from a 5 inch barrel. Never won a match but I never finish last either.
Wow, Your some mod **** around here eh? Do all posts need to meet your expectations? If you don't understand a post keep your mouth shut Ass Hole.
PS: I reported your post as a personal attack. Let's see if the forum owner cares about his own forum rules.

So bofh is in hall monitor status again? Why is it you seem to think people write their ideas and opinions for your edification? You appear to be a contrarian of the highest order.
Yes, I can identify the purpose of his post. He wanted to express his affection for the .45 ACP. It's his privilege and takes nothing away from you, but you find a need to make a sarcastic and condescending remark. So, if I'm "piling on", perhaps you need to assess the reason people take exception to your remarks. You are entitled to your opinion, Like everyone else. It's just that you seem to set your opinion above that of others and then poke a finger at them. For me, not something I care to see. If you have something constructive to say, do so. Otherwise, I have to ask, what is the purpose of your post?
Insurance against negligent discharge should be proper training and confidence in yourself to operate your weapon safely. But a heavy trigger pull doesn't hurt either.
Maybe, maybe not. A light trigger isn't everything.It literally does for me. Read my previous post in this thread about my injuries.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution. If you can operate a heavy trigger and shoot fast and accurate with it, good for you. You will still be shooting faster and more accurate with a slightly lighter trigger.
The video linked has nothing to do with how heavy or light the trigger pull of the gun is in DA mode since the first thing the halfwit did was thumb the hammer back to the short, light SA mode- with his finger still on the trigger.As I said before, a heavy trigger should never be used as an insurance against a negligent discharge, especially if you go full retard on a revolver. I thought I just leave this here:
