And I repeat.
REVOLVER for home defense. NEVER a semiautomatic pistol.
Revolver home defense: Grab gun, take out of holster, point and fire.
Semiauto home defense: Grab gun, take out of holster, chamber a round, take off the safety, point and fire.
Also the added complexity of the “hidden” round in the chamber that must be removed if you don't fire.
REVOLVER!!!
Well, I like revolvers also, keep several around the house and use them for CCW use also. However, I will have to disagree with your statement that you have to chamber a round in a semi before you can use it. If it is for self defense and if it is a double action only, and even if it isn’t, you can safely keep a round chambered ready to go. You might have to worry about the spring in the Magazine getting weak, and some of them jam and tend to break, but waiting until you have a break in to jack a round in is foolish. I keep two semis as well as several revolvers spotted around the house(I live in CA and we have a high home invasion rate here)and keep one in the chamber at all times in the ones I don’t have locked up. This is JMO and not intended for a recommendation to others.
