Revolver vs. Auto. ???

[JohnnyC]

What do you carry??? Revolver or Auto. - - - - and Why ????

 

[WanMan99]

Revolver. Cause it will always go bang when I pull the trigger... No FTF, no safety on by accident etc..

 

[JohnnyC]

That makes two of us.... which model do you use?

 

[atmay]

Striker-fired auto, mostly a Glock 22, occasionally a Kahr K40c. I can hit what I'm aiming at (unlike with a revolver), and I can easily carry 46 rounds with the Glock.

 

[SheepDog_B]

My Glock goes bang when I pull the trigger.

 

[yanici]

Mostly just pocket my S&W 642 snubbie because I'm lazy, 80% of time. The other 20% of time it's a Sig 229.

 

[EcHo]

Auto because of the high mag capacity (14+1 on the P229)

 

[M1911]

What do you carry??? Revolver or Auto. - - - - and Why ????

Yes.

 

[cekim]

I carry two nickle plated desert eagles in .50AE because no one loved me as a child and I was teased in the locker room...



Seriously - semi-autos work fine. Buy good guns - not a terrible idea to have an extra mag not only for capacity but random failures... Anything mechanical can fail - even a revolver (particularly one with non-sense safeties...).

Any gun you carry is better than the one in your safe.

I don't think any gun is the be-all end-all of self-defense. It's all about what you feel comfortable with and can shoot reasonably well combined with concealment. For me, that's a 1911. But I've also carried a hi-power, officer's model, Ruger P9o and a S&W model 36. (recently traded for a Belgian hi-power.) If I could carry a 4-inch .357 as well concealed as a semi-auto I would seriously consider it.

I end up carrying a semi, usually a G30SF or a G19. Usually both have the same amount of lint between cleanings.

Also known as, medium sized hand grenade....

Revolver. Cause it will always go bang when I pull the trigger....

So will a Glock.

BTW, I've had revolvers FTF.

 

[Jose]

Yes.

even a revolver (particularly one with non-sense safeties...).

S&W's storage lock is dead easy to render inoperable and easily reversed back to operation.

Which hammer do you use to drive a nail? 12oz or 20oz? and why

 

[Viking Kitten]

I've both, and what I carry depends on the "outfit of the day".

 

[wolf223]

i dont own any wheel guns but the semi-auto depends on what shoes and boxers i'm wearing.

They have to match for when i have to bail out of the bedroom window(s)

 

[buketduder]

S&W 442 or Sig P228...both go bang all the time...You need a minimum of 15 Rounds if you enter Hartford..City Ordinance...228 holds 19...

 

[WanMan99]

S&W 642 with Speer Gold Dot 158gr Hollow Points.

 

[BMass]

Which hammer do you use to drive a nail? 12oz or 20oz? and why

A pneumatic nail gun....but sometimes it jams.

 

[ranger4-7]

Semi-auto, because I believe that a quality auto is just as reliable as a wheel gun. I find that a single stack auto is easier/more comfortable for me to carry concealed. The extra rounds are a factor as well.

48.

Go big or go home.

 

[fbirdquik6]

Both.

 

[Terminator03]

It has always been my opinion that while wheel guns are usually the most reliable, they are more difficult to conceal, so semi ftw.

 

[william_munny]

Auto works for me. I like having the larger capacity and the faster reload, and I shoot it just fine. Revolvers are great guns though, and in the end, carry what suits you best.

 

[45collector]

I have several wheelguns that I enjoy shooting but rarely will one of them be my main carry. I've worn my S&W 36 in an ankle holster to events where I must dress nice with shirt tucked in, no jacket. I've worn the SP101 in a shoulder holster while the Makarov or 1911 is on my hip, but that's only because a .357 magnum in a shoulder holster is the best rig I can think of to wear for long trips in the car where I might be travelling through bear country. Those bears will sneak right up and car-jack your ass man!

Generally I shoot semi-autos much better than wheelguns. I'm carrying a full size 1911 today. I'll carry my East German Makarov fairly often this time of year too. Both are very reliable and I can hit what I'm aiming at with them.

I love an ankle holster for long trips, as it is easy to bring up and discretely access while belted in and actively driving.
