I'm also old school, and I appreciate the primitive but reliable mechanics of a good revolver. Its obviously slower paced and I dont chew up the ammo at anywhere near the amount that my semi autos do.
They just feel & look good to me, and I enjoy shooting revolvers at the range much more than I do my semi autos. My collection of handguns are about 50/50 revolvers and semi autos, and I do appreciate both as the tools that they are.īut there's something to be said about the beauty, timeless design and mechanics of revolvers, I view them almost as mechanical art.
In todays world, Law enforcement definitely needs the firepower and efficiency of semi auto's and should never be outgunned by the thugs. Semi auto's are much more efficient, higher capacity, more firepower and have much less escaping gasses compared to revolvers. Could be 42 more in I switch to a 3 mag pouch from the 2 mag. Now I carry 14 in the weapon and 28 more on my belt. Heck I carry in the weapon now almost as much ammo as I carried in the weapon and on the belt in 1974. The Security Six 4' was my duty weapon in 1974.
