The Sig226 shooter starts hammer fully decocked gun in holster and the CZ shooter starts with gun with hammer fully down, gun in holster. Upon the signal to start can either shooter draw cxock their guns and fire or must the first shot be taken DA? In short when does the begin...begin, with the drawing of the gun or the firing of the first shot? Take Care Bob Sorry but the word police won't allow me to type "cxxxk" as in raising the hammer with the thumb qui desiderat pacem, praeparat bellum Last Edited By: robertbank 03/24/09 10:11:33.

Have had a lot of revolver shooters do it. It is slower, but if done right its still safe. Herb If you don't know your rights, you don't have any!

Let's not start this again... There is a separate thread that has Robert and I disagreeing vehemently on this subject... Any discussion on that subject would be appropriate in that thread... that discussion is here http://www.idpaforum.yuku.com/topic/4434?page=1 As to this subject, I see nothing in the rules that says that the first shot must be fired DA, only that the hammer must be decocked at start on a selective DA/SA gun.

I am not sure what advantage there would be unless you have size XXXlarge fingers but to each his own. I have enough problems drawing my gun and getting my first shot off quickly and accurately to be trying to coock the hammer back as well. I guess to each his own. Take Care and thanks for the replies. Bob ps Stupid language editor! qui desiderat pacem, praeparat bellum Last Edited By: robertbank 03/25/09 12:40:30. Edited 1 times.

You obtain the grip on the gun while it's in the holster before you start the draw, you would have to shift your grip to #%@@ it - either strong hand or weak hand - and this takes time. Learn to to draw and fire the first shot DA and I can guarantee that you will be fast that cocking it first.

It does'nt matter if you c*ck the hammer or not, time begins at the beep. You will not find that cocking the hammer is faster than shooting the first shot DA. Learn to live with the DA/SA transition and go on from there. ... Tom
