"Don't look now...but you've been Fegined."

Ahh to smell the BS of an author. LOL, it is funny, so freaking funny. Only need one bullet per person. HAHAHA. Sure buddy, nobody ever survives being shot with a 45. What a snobbish fool.
I don’t shoot often enough, even less so since the tragic boat accident, but in 10+ years, experienced a few jams in the Glock 19, and none in the S&W 642.

Oops, Too many M’s.
A Hussein Head here a few days ago who didn’t like my POV focused instead on fegined ignorance of a couple common acronyms I used.
It’s Election Year again. :-)
This isn't true. It's not true for normal people who have substantial shooting time behind their favored gun, and it's not true for the elite.
Maybe there are some freakishly fast single action guys who do trick shooting who are faster with a single action revolver than most people are with a double action revolver, but none of the cowboy gun shooters can come close to the freakishly fast Jerry Miculek .. especially if any reloading is required.

“Chief among these is the lie that revolvers are more reliable than automatics. “
Yeah - autos never jam in dirty situations when a revolver would keep firing...or have ejection problems if a bad round is fired or a limp-wrist lapse occurs...I’ve had 3 jams with autos over the last 50 years and zero problems with revolvers....like the old saying goes, if a gun jams just once it’s hard to trust it as a SHTF weapon.
I actually pretty much agree with the author. Something unusual for ASJ.
A good auto is more reliable than a revolver, especially in dirty conditions. Note that I said a (good) auto.
Miculek is a space alien, no other explanation for what he can do.
Armchair expert. I can’t think of a single modern double action break top revolver....Webleys are ancient!
The author ignores one of the great virtues of the revolver: it can easily be chambered for and handle the pressure of magnum and super-magnum cartridges like the .44 Mag, .41 Mag, .347 Mag and .500 S&W Mag, .454 Casull, .480 Ruger, etc. etc.
These cartridges are a lot more reassuring to carry when you are in big bear country than the .45 ACP the author favors.
I do not like DA only, DA/SA is preferred.

Where can I get one of those ‘automatic” pistols. My semi-automatic just doesn’t shoot fast enough.

Bob Munden would put him to shame, guy could split a card on edge with his single action. He also could fire two shots a break two balloons so fast you never heard but one shot, or saw it either. Bob is dead now but man he never missed Could shoot aspirins from nail heads leaving the nail untouched.
I thought the Germans replaced the Luger with the P-38 because (a) the P-38 was cheaper to manufacture; and (b) the Luger didn't handle dirty conditions as well.
Me too
here’s one shooter’s take. - The relative merits of the three basic types of pistols – single-action, double-action and automatic – has rarely been discussed in an impartial manner.
Same blogwriter:
THE M1911A1 .45 automatic represents the ultimate in pistol design.
And I like it cocked/locked and ready for SA!
You are right, revolvers do make better magnums tho it is possible to make magnum autos too.
I had a model 27 with 8 and 3/8ths inch barrel. It had target trigger, hammer and sights. What a beautiful piece of machinery and it shot about as well as one could shoot.
A hot loaded .357 with the right bullet is a very deadly gun. Also had several model 29s and that is about as much power as is practical in a hand gun.
