I use nothing but revolvers.
I woudn’t have an automatic for anything.
Revolvers are tried and true.They don’t go off without help and they don’t jam.
True, they don’t have as many bullets, but I don’t plan on being around much after firing 6 rounds anyway.
“Revolvers are tried and true.They don’t go off without help and they don’t jam.”
Wrong, and wrong.
A: No gun “goes off” without help, unless it has a mechanical defect.
B: Since you lump all “revolvers” together, I feel the need to inform you that only “modern” revolvers have firing pin blocks. Drop one of your trusty “revolvers” and see if it goes off.
C: Unless you put preserves in it, no weapon “jams.” Try cycling your revolver when you have a primer pop. Here’s a hint...the entire gun locks up, and no drill will clear it usually. Primer setback or getting a projectile hung up on the forcing cone will stop a revolver dead, and then the only way to get it functioning is by disassembling it.
D: Either is an acceptable choice for a self defense weapon. Those who have weak hands or are mechanically inept may find the revolver more to their liking.

‘Cause you’d be dead because the other guy had 15?
I’ve got several shoulder rigs. Only one for a revolver, a DeSantis for the S&W Governor. For the “more than 6 needs” I have the bullet pouch on the other side for the .410s and the 45LC...
