Mr. Eisenberg. How hard do you have to pull on that trigger in order to fire the weapon?
Mr. Cunningham. For double action—that is, without cocking, it is approximately 11 to 12 pounds, which is normal for this type of weapon.
Mr. Eisenberg. Now, I handed you earlier four cartridge cases in a plastic envelope marked Q-74, Q-75, Q-76, and Q-77, also marked C47-C50. Are you familiar with these cartridge cases?
Mr. Cunningham. I am. I have previously looked at them.
Mr. Eisenberg. Do they have your mark on them?
Mr. Cunningham. They do. Right on the side of each one, right there.
Mr. Eisenberg. When did you receive these cartridge cases?
Mr. Cunningham. These cartridge cases were received from the Dallas office of the FBI on November 30, 1963.
Mr. Eisenberg. For the record, I would like to state that these cartridge cases were found in the immediate proximity of the site at which Officer Tippit was killed. They were found on the ground near the street where Officer Tippit was killed on November 22.
Representative Ford. These are the ones that were found in the street near the automobile?
