"in split-second incidents, police don't cock their gun but instead fire all the way through meaning the shots will be less accurate because it requires more pressure to fire the weapon" Was he using a revolver? This is news!

Yea, they make it sound like the cop was using a double action revolver or DAO semi-automatic handgun.

no revolver and I would bet it was a double action only pistol too. The trigger pull on those is not that heavy and they train for rapid fire close assault situations.
Who ever posted this question it gun, ballistics, and law enforcement ignorant.

Was he using a revolver? This is news! With a double action/single action automatic, the first shot takes a longer and heavier trigger pull, but the subsequent shots have a shorter and lighter pull, because the hammer is cocked by the operation of the slide.
