I grew up shooting revolvers and still prefer them. Every striker fired gun I’ve tried has a trigger that sucks donkey dicks compared to my worst revolver.

Understood. Very different triggers between a revolver and a semi. And old revolvers were solidly built.

Once you go hammer back on a revolver, the trigger has a clean break, no slack. Double action just a much heavier and longer pull to get to the break.

The semi is designed (usually) to have slack that must be taken up, then a break, and if run properly, a very short reset to the next break. People who learn the semi who shot revolvers (without some coaching) tend to completely release the trigger between shots, forcing you to take up slack again before the next break. Properly trained, one points in on target while taking up slack, presses through the break and holds that press through the follow through, and releases only enough to reset the trigger, setting up the next press.

I have no idea if you have trained that way or not, but if you have, you would definitely be aware of the difference between the $200 Ruger LCP trigger and a better quality trigger on a $500-$600 gun.

But to your original donkey dick point, absolutely single action shooting a revolver has only a clean break and will be very consistent.
