    Default Accurate RAPID fire with a DOA handgun....???

    As it happens, my 2 semi auto pistols and 1 revolver all shoot DOA.

    Anybody know techniques, guidelines, or a course to develop accurate skill in rapid fire with this kind of trigger.

    I am NOT talking about quick draw, just fast fire on the target after the handgun is aimed.

    Thanks...

    (my faster DOA shooting stinks)

    Get a laserlyte trainer, and six of the cartridges. Practice, practice, practice.
    There's no such thing as a free lunch.

    Don't know about the laserlyte, but he's otherwise correct - practice, practice and more practice. If you want to have fun while you're "practicing", take up IDPA.

    Jerry Miculek has some good videos on Youtube. Revolvers are his specialty

    Smooth, steady pull to the rear without disturbing the sights. Make yourself some dummy rounds or buy some snap caps and get someone to load the revolver for you mixing them with live rounds in different orders. If the sights dip off point of aim with the dummy rounds you're probably jerking the heck out of the trigger.

    Experiment with trigger finger depth. I shoot all DOA guns with my distal crease on the outside edge of the trigger.

    I taught Chuck Norris to bump-fire.

    Is your primary concern right now the accuracy or speed?

    Educate me please. I read DOA in the OP's first post. It that DAO as in double action only? Or, is it something else?
