Fella on another forum says he double tapped his model 29 6" and got a nice two inch group at 50 yards! I don't see how one could double tap a revolver in the first place let alone put two .44 mag slugs in two inches at 50 yards after doing so. Anyone else ever done that?

It's not the two in 2 inches at 50 yards that's the problem.......... it's the other thing along with it.

A double tap with a revolver is no different than with a semi auto. (assuming you shoot lots of double action revolver) The second part could have happened. Once. By pure luck.

I should think its quite different from a semi auto. Please explain how one double taps a revolver, especially a .44 mag. The guns mechanics are totally different. The guy says the first shot was fired single action, and then it just fired again. What moved the cylinder around and cocked it? He says it was unintentional. Mechanical issue?

This guy aint no Jerry Miculek. He says he didn't do it purposely. That's my question. How does one do it by accident. A double tap to me is either two aimed shots fast as one can pull the trigger or, accidental as in getting a double with an M14 rifle by having a loose hold on the rifle and getting a bounce on the trigger. I just cant see doing an accidental double tap with a .44 mag and having the shots land in the same zip code. The guy did backtrack on the bullets landing within 2 inches to 6 inches, but I still don't quite buy it.

You are correct. One may stroke two rounds beaucoup fast from a Model 29 but those are STROKES not taps. Now, a second shot which cuts the first comes under the heading of luck until it repeats repeats repeats. The measure of SHARPSHOOTING is consistency, not luck.
There is one other matter----RECOIL----which pays no heed to boutique phrases like “double tap.” Invite the worthy to throw a gallon jug of water into the air and see how well his double tap .44 Magnum works on that! David Bradshaw

I've seen such a second unintended shot once. Heavy load, looser than recommended grip (I guess) recoil actuates the trigger against the finger. Kaboom. I have no idea where either of his shots went. But he went home

But he went home ***** Ken.... 2-shots from 1 trigger pull in a Model 29----I described the condition to Smith & Wesson as CYLINDER FLOAT in 1978-79. I can go into it in detail, for now, suffice to say the “double tap” with an M-29 is someone’s confusing the rather sloppy term with two fast shots double action from a handcannon. Seems nolongcolt wants to share someone’s use of a misinformed phrase for a technique that doesn’t apply to double action shooting. David Bradshaw

Easy!! Lay the revolver on the table, take a #2 lead pencil and...."tap", "tap". 😂
Honestly, I have those kinds of dreams too after eating at our local Cat-tonese buffet. I think it's all the sodium sulphite.

David Bradshaw What I was really looking for was a logical explanation for what this guy claimed to have done, which has modified not surprisingly from the original claim. Another fella opined that perhaps being a -2 29, that it was possible that under recoil that the cylinder had rotated on its own and coupled with bad trigger form may have caused the 2nd shot, seems like a possibility. Original claim had a 2 inch group for the two shots at 50 yards which changed to about 6" later on. I don't buy that number either, be more like 6'!

Back when I first starred shooting Smiths I would occasionally let a second shot go by accident. While shooting single action I would cock the hammer while letting the revolver return to rest and readjusting the grip could result in accidentally touching the trigger. I’ve since learned not to cock the hammer until I’m ready to shoot again
