I later found that I had to shim the coil mainspring to make it reliably fire in DA mode. I shot a squirrel, he went down a hole in a tree. I could see his tail sticking out. I hit him SA and tried again DA as he fled Had a misfire. Range about 30 ft.
So I started to climb the tree. As I swung my leg up over the lowest limb of the tree, i heard a shot, and looked around, saw nobody. I retrieved the (then dead) squirrel. Later, tho, I noticed some lead smears on the front-side of the iver johnson revolver's frame and I looked at my Braur Bros holster. There was a bullet hole in near the bottom of the rig! Must have missed my leg by inches.
