With over 50 years of pistol handling experience, I always recommend amateurs purchase a wheel gun for self defense.
Simple - no fuss, handy tool.
Agree with your assumptions.
I agree with you.
I don't have fifty years experience, but with the experience I do have I believe limp-wristing is EXTREMELY over sold for ejection failures.
Of greater import, in my experience, is a top quality firearm along with ammunition that has a minimum of 250 rounds of that specific ammunition run through it with zero failures.
"Limp-wristing" is what "single-pistol-owners" invariably blame before they admit their one gun kinda sucks.
