It just doesn't do a great job of explaining its sources nor its design specs. This kind of info (that you're providing) is invaluable to a GM running a BH game.

As for the...What the others said, re: SAR vs. DAR.<br /><br />As for the production "fast-draw" revolver, unless I'm mistaken, it was named so because of a combination of an easier-to-cock hammer, smooth surfaces, and a shorter barrel.<br /><br />(If we're talking Hollywood westerns, I also recall more than one movie referencing how some badass gunslinger had filed down the front gun sight ramp of his hogleg(s). Who knows if such a thing ever happened IRL, but I would imagine this to be more of a customization than a production feature. Either way, I suppose if you're worried so much about getting your pistol out of the holster faster than anybody else, you won't really be too concerned about how something like this will affect your aim...)Christopher Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368794259249607299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-40948753091492362172009-07-21T23:03:45.250-07:002009-07-21T23:03:45.250-07:00What Stuart said. :)What Stuart said. :)Timeshadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952601433965644275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-14787587864508710832009-07-21T20:23:03.905-07:002009-07-21T20:23:03.905-07:00Your wrong on the reason SAR is faster than a DAR....Your wrong on the reason SAR is faster than a DAR. With a SAR you thumb the hammer back, which advances the cylinder to the next loaded chamber. Then the finger pull/squeeze releases the hammer. Easy, doesn't take much pressure.<br /><br />Compared too...<br /><br />DAR where the the hammer is levered back, the cylinder advanced and then the hammer released all off that finger pull. I lot more work and force required, so it takes longer.<br /><br />FANNING is basically a dangerous way to unload your pistol. You're not going to hit anything more than a couple of feet in front of you, unless they happen to be your own. Actually, happened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
