Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I found this paragraph in an owner's manual for a S&W Chief's Special: "There is time even in rapid fire shooting for the deliberate handling of the gun in single action fashion just so long as the function is performed without loss of time and in a definite cadence whereby the cycle will be completed withing the allocated time." I'm not sure I could translate that into anything. Good thing Smith's are made in the USA. Can you imagine that instruction if written by a non-English speaking person?

I had a Beretta .380 that had stamped on the slide "Will not fires without magazine."
Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I would consider that an opinion rather than an instruction.

Very easy for me to understand. Think of holding a S&W Chief Special and shooting it with two hands, shooting it like a single action cowboy gun. Right hand holds gun, left hand thumb does the cocking, right hand does the trigger pulling all without losing cadence(shooting sorta fast)5 shots in 5 seconds. Just sayin' Big Jake
Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I would consider that an opinion rather than an instruction. ............ mayhaps it's a suggestion ...

Just sayin' Big Jake Didn't say that though did it? Imagine a person less schooled in fiirearms than we are reading that. Say what?? Imagine Mr. Chang, chief translator in the Boyhowdy Goodtime Fireworks and Pistol Factory in suburban Kunming, trying to fathom it and translate it into mandarin.
Doc Windshadow Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 well if you tell Google to take that S&W instruction and turn it to Chinese then take the result and make it Japanese then take that result and put it back into english you get this: "Time and rhythm just to complete it within a specific time assigned to lose time in rapid-fire gun handle not only single action intentionally, no." Which sort of proves your point I think Cheers Windy
Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 "Time and rhythm just to complete it within a specific time assigned to lose time in rapid-fire gun handle not only single action intentionally, no." That's kinda, more or less, sorta, almost what I thought it said.
Big Jake1001 Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 I guess ya gotta be smarter than the gun to use it. Just sayin' Big Jake
BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Sounds like it was written by someone who writes government regulations! Blackfoot
