Pull the trigger and it fires - that is the whole manual of arms. Double action revolvers from Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Colt and Taurus remain a serious choice for carry and nightstand duty, especially for shooters who want maximum simplicity under stress. Snub-nose .38 Specials for the pocket sit alongside full-size .357 Magnums that pull double duty at the range.
For many first-time New Jersey handgun owners, a double action revolver is the easiest gun to learn, verify and live with. Handle the trigger difference yourself at either store before deciding.
