Depends on the revolver. Most double action triggers are set from 10-15 pounds (4.5-7 kg). That weight is from you cocking and firing the gun with one pull of the trigger.

With a single action trigger you cock the hammer separately and then fire using the trigger. Single action revolver have a trigger weight of 4-6 pounds (2-3kg).

I think the strength in these fingers must not be the same as a typical human

Based Dan Wesson enjoyer.
Double props for actual understanding of a double action.

I'm shocked they didn't get hurt, do to their fingers being so close to the cylinder gap.
Ya know, the reason why (most) revolvers would not benefit from having a suppressor. Hot gasses shot out of that gap and can not only burn you, but CUT FINGERS off if the caliber is high enough!.

Im shocked no one has made and Alick Baldwin joke yet.

You should also be mindful of where you are putting your hands when handling a revolver, especially your fingers. The force of any gasses escaping the cylinder can be quite harmful to them without appropriate protection, as demonstrated by Mythbusters.

I was wondering why this OC looked familiar when I saw this vid earlier on YouTube. Good to see him in something SFW every now and then, y'know?

lol Had no Idea it was a safety video, and first thing I thought was they should take there finger off the trigger, then Bang, made me jump a little.

Good stuff.

The hammer is cocked back so thats like what I dunno two pounds or kg or whatever and is a very light trigger pull.
I know because I had a negligent discharge with my old six shooter few years ago and my ears are still ringing.

I never thought I'd see a firearm safety instruction video on e621 of all places, yet here we are.

Who the fuck thought it'd be a good idea to give him .44 magnum

I have no fucking idea! But the face after the gun do go off is funny, and he was lucky to not get shoot himself!

Awesome for a safety and PSA! Nicely done!

There are 5 golden rules of gun safety.

1. Always keep your gun unloaded until ready to use.

2. Always point the gun in a safe direction.

3. Do not point the gun at anything you don’t intend to shoot.

4. Keep your finger OFF the trigger until ready to fire the gun.

5. Know what is behind your target.

I can ALWAYS suport gun safty vids, even if they are as goofy as this

Owwie holding it like that is how you blow your fingies off

Don't let dogs have guns

4. Keep your finger OFF the trigger until ready to fire the gun.

5. Know what is behind your target. Know what your target is and what is behind the target. (This is important for the times you need a firearm outside the range.

The hammer was already back and a round was in the chamber. it would take similar trigger pressure to any other cocked gun.

This is my main criticism of this. Argh. It's so uncomfortable.

Jerry Miculek's video comes to mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6vMkk8VYzc

At least he didn't break his floofy face lol, since that can happen lol

How incredibly American. I can see it now, it's night time and some perp just jumped the fence into the backyard. Gaurd dog comes out barking and pointing a gun.

Lovely

People need to learn gun safety and the mr.dikens drill

This music and the humor in the video plays exactly like an adult swim bump would've. good going!

Thank you for the corrections. I still have much to learn. If you can think of any other safety rules, I would be very appreciative.

Just quoting because these are the rule I was taught and the ones that make the most sense to me.

Those are the main ones that will save you from injury and lose of life. The only other ones i would add would be to maintain and keep your gun clean and oiled, to prolong the life of your firearm.

Then there are "rules" you set yourself.

For example, if you fear that a minor (be they yours or others) may have access to your gun, you could make a rule to keep your guns unloaded and store ammo separately. But I feel the best way to address that is to teach them these gun rules as well, Show then youtube videos on how destructive they can be. They will learn and understand that they're not toys. Just like how they won't mess with knives ones you've thought them.

Which one?

The hammer is pulled back. This makes it so less pressure is needed to pull the trigger.

ngl, when he actually shot the gun it startled me

Can easily be condensed to just 4.

1. Treat every gun as if it is loaded.

2. Know your target and what's behind it.

3. Keep your finger of the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

4. Don't point the gun at anything you aren't willing to destroy.

The "bad_trigger_discipline" tag has 408 entries at the time off this writing. This place is so bizarre, and I love it.

im assuming they did not have a good grip on the gun, but for the amount of time it was in the air was crazy. the kick must hurt to control
