Can load a single round into the last chamber. If you have to reload again, you got big problems that a second reload probably won't fix.

Law enforcement officers are civilians,..
No need for those pesky moonies/strips here as we believe that most modern revolvers provide about twice the amount of ammo any civilian will ever need in a self defense situation .
Carrying one of those 'built like a tank/weighs almost as much as a tank' sp (super porky) 101's got real old real fast-could not get rid of our .357 and 9mm fast enough-bloated cast handguns for cc make no sense to us at all of course Boris the blade does have a point:

The wife has the LCR in .38 gathering dust . Total POS that has a harsh snappy recoil. The wife enjoys the LCR's replacement which is the Sig 238 in .380 much easier for her to manage therefore enjoy.

you could not be more wrong- sworn law enforcement officers are required to protect the civilian population both when on and off duty and are held to a much higher standard than the general (or civilian) population.

I have an LCR9 and although I have my issues with it, there's no denying how easily this thing disappears in your pocket. That's the only reason why I keep it, because shooting it is like dynamite in your hands!

Being able to distinguish between tort and criminal actions/law is central to understanding the moral and legal obligation police officers willingly and enthusiastically assume when -sworn- into office. I completed academy training here in MA in '75 (?) and vividly remember the rather lengthy amount of time spent on the concept of 'discretion'; when it can be properly exercised and perhaps more importantly when discretion does not exist. The message that we were never really off duty was clear and as I recall we were required to be armed at all times when not working .
Bulky cast revolvers have their place, mainly bear defense and hunting.
Shit, better start bringing the Magpul drum for the Glock then when I carry.
OK, math problem:
Scenario: You, walking in the woods. 4 coyotes begin attacking you. You take shots and miss all 4 with your 5 shot revolver. That leaves you 1 shot with 4 coyotes. Start picking up rocks?

I appreciate your training that you went through and the service that you provided to your community.Being able to distinguish between tort and criminal actions/law is central to understanding the moral and legal obligation police officers willingly and enthusiastically assume when -sworn- into office.

Since then things have changed. The courts have stated on numerous occasions that an officer is not required to risk his/her life for another.
Not to say that many do; but many will not.
An alarming number of politicians have turned their back on police and have defunded many departments.
The state of Massachusetts passed laws recently disbanding auxiliary police and severely restricting the sheriff's departments, DOC & college/university police authority.
Just about every police department within the commonwealth is severly short handed; requiring forced overtime.
Departments that unto have wait lists years" long; can't even get enough applicants.
I am glad I am retiring soon. Law Enforcement in this state is turning into a real mess.

If you cannot hit one with four shots you're not going to get all four with 10 or 15 shots. If they did not run off after the first shot I would be surprised.

Use the last bullet on yourself. The 'yotes will appreciate the fresh, no-fuss meal.4 fast moving dogs from different directions, 4 shots, 4 misses, 1 miss each.?

What happens if it's 30 coyotes? Now everyone needs a 5.7?
This scenario is almost certainly NEVER ever going to happen. Got take a walk. Bring your dog. Bring your revolver. Chances are very very very slim that you ever even get sight of one coyote while out for your Sunday walk and if you do, its headed in the opposite direction.4 fast moving dogs from different directions, 4 shots, 4 misses, 1 miss each.
I believe it! I have customers who come to my counter, and you can just tell that they are vegetarians by the smell. One of the PETA bragging points is that vegetarians have more sex. Well, OK, but who wants to hold their breath that long?
Now back to our original post...
Carry three guns.
The training of civilians in the self defense use of firearms has been all wrong and as such it should be no surprise that the selection of handguns by civilians similarly is flawed however I support the 'right' of anyone to be incorrectly trained and armed.
