I shoot all my revolvers in DA mode if at all possible and always do inside of 25-30 yards. His revolver is no different from most, other than the trigger in single-action mode is very light. He was shooting with me and making every shot by first cocking the hammer, which I tried to discourage. He asked "WHY?" and I told him if he was going to carry it when out and about that he should only shoot it double action in a defensive situation.
