> Because of the current political climate, my wife is considering a revolver. I have hand guns but they really don’t work for her. I would just like that she felt comfortable with firearms. And have something suitable for her. My question is in the title. What’s with the double trigger in pistols. I’m sure it’s some sort of safety, but that’s rediculous.

My comment was:

> If you’d started with, “i don’t understand this thing, please explain”, it might very well belong in factual questions. But you started with, “I’m sure it’s some kind of safety, but that’s ridiculous”. That’s very much in opinion territory.
