By no means am I slamming you or your ability. I have seen casull chambered h
anguns fired and several lightly used casulls owned by people who have ran
half a box through then decided to sell it.
A casull is not the type of gun even a seasoned shooter would want to attempt
a double tap (if it were a double action) and that's where I was going with
that.
I don't know if it's a product of online media in general, however it seems
in some forms of discussion the context of replies is assumed to be
adversarial. That was not my intent. I just want to see someone hold onto
that beast and hit something consistently with a double tap.
