A revolver is an excellent self-defense/carry weapon, IMO.

You really gotta pull Nobody starts off shooting a double action revolver great, but with some practice you get a lot better at it like I have. Dry fire practice works very well so you know exactly when the trigger is gonna break if you have a decent quality revolver. |

I don’t own a revolver, but OP is right.
In most self defense shooting I’d wager sights are likely never seen and triggers jerked with the force of a thousand dying suns. Yet the owner lives to get their gun taken away for evidence processing

Police ND's did not "go up massively" with the transition from revolvers to striker fired semi-autos.
Reporting of police ND's went up. The revolver era was before the world got soft and started wigging out over everything and before police departments were terrified out of their gourd of the twin specters of liability and the media. The precinct buildings at my old agency that were around pre-1990 were LITTERED with unexplained bullet holes, especially in the sally port/vehicle storage areas. Many of them were contributed to by being drunk as fuck at work. |

Honestly, whatever gun somebody is comfortable with is the one they should carry, automatic or wheel gun. Out if all my handguns, the one I feel conceals easiest and I'm most accurate with is my Rhino (3 inch barrel), so that's my day to day carry gun.

Not understanding the "chamber a round" and messing with a safety thing.
S&W M&P, 1 in the pipe, no safety, 14 more just like it in the mag. |

Yet the owner lives to get their gun taken away for evidence processing I've had a ccw permit for 12 years and i've never really felt comfortable carrying an auto unless it either had a manual safety or even worse, I didn't carry it with a loaded chamber. And after seeing how quick self defense situations happen and realizing you aren't gonna probably have time to mess with safeties or chambering a round, I wanted something that was ready to fire when I draw and pull the trigger immediately but I also could feel very comfortable carrying knowing that theres no way the gun is gonna discharge unless I intentionally pull the trigger and no safeties or anything else to deal with. I had many autos before it, but then I realized the revolver was what I was looking for all along. |

Semi autos been around a long time. The majority of cops carrying a semi auto is a relatively recent thing, even in my lifetime wasn't unusual for most street cops to carry a .38 revolver.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Does every cylinder have a round in it?... Of course. Besides some single action replicas, almost every revolver made in the last 100 years either has either a transfer bar or a firing pin block that will prevent it from being discharged if it is dropped or receives a blow to the hammer. And the only way the firing pin can touch the primer is if the trigger is pulled. |

Revolvers are actually a great carry piece. The only thing that bothers me is 6 shots. Not like you can top off..
If my back is up against the wall. I'd carry a Model 19 with no reservations. |

My very first issued USBP handgun was a S&W 686 CS-1. I was taught to reload it from loops. I could unload and load it fast. Sucked in Yuma when it was 105 at 10am at the range. That cylinder got hot as hell! |

Been carrying a semi-auto handgun for over 30 years, most of the time a Glock. And always have a chambered round. Never got snagged on anything or had an ND through countless concealed draws. But I don't pocket carry.
If you're more comfortable with a wheelgun, go for it. |

Stolen from another site.
In general, rural areas are sparsely populated, have low housing density, and are far from urban centers. Urban areas make up only 3 percent of the entire land area of the country but are home to more than 80 percent of the population. Conversely, 97 percent of the country’s land mass is rural but only 19.3 percent of the population lives there. Not all of us live in areas where BLM & Antifa roam the streets beating and killing people. Some of us are more likely to shoot a animal over a individual. Also revolvers are just cool. But I do carry a semi auto 95% of the time. |

"I do because I think a carry gun should be ready to fire upon drawing and pulling the trigger without having to dick with safeties or chambering a round."
Which applies to the majority of the semi-autos in use these days. I carry a revolver sometimes too, but neither of your arguments in favor holds water. Dick with safeties? Chambering a round? LOL. |

Quoted: I do because I think a carry gun should be ready to fire upon drawing and pulling the trigger without having to dick with safeties or chambering a round. And at the same time, I just don't feel comfortable with how light the trigger on striker fired guns are. And it's not about keeping your finger on it, it's about getting it snagged on something that you didn't know was there. Especially since I like pocket carry (but in a pocket holster). You can argue all you want about police training, but when they went from revolvers to glocks, the incidents of nd's went up tremendously. You can argue that cops get stupider or aren't trained as well, but nd's with revolvers were pretty rare. And there's also the reliability issue when you are talking small guns. Most modern service sized and even compact semi autos are very reliable. But when you step down into the subcompact class, they can be a bit more finicky on how you hold them, what ammo you use etc. I hope 6 rounds will be enough, and I think it would because they say the average citizen involved self defense encounter has between 1 and 3 shots fired. It might be my funeral, but I like carrying my ruger lcr. Congrats this wall o’insecurity made LittlePony straight for 87 seconds. |
