I’ve always liked a revolver best, went for a semi auto for 2 reasons.

1. Less expensive. I could get 2 of the 9mm Taurus G2C I did for the price of almost any 357 out there.

2. Slimmer and easier to conceal.

Otherwise, I’ve always liked a wheelgun better.

I like it because you don’t have to hunt around the scene for the brass.

Proper holster made for the particular revolver and there is no difference in concealability..

I really like revolvers better. That said, I also believe there is no gun for all occasions.

Just as you would not take a 30-06 to a dove shoot,,,,,

For a day in the woods in an area where I might meet up with a bear, it is the Blackhawk 45 colt loaded with something brutal from Buffalo Bore or Cor-bon.

On the opposite end of the scale, if I am going to a wedding where I must wear a tailored suit, the little SP-101 would be the right pick.

For an extended stay in town where everything is at arms length, so power is not the determining factor but the possibility of getting rushed by more than one, the 9mm would be the pick.

In very cold weather where your problem might be dressed in a heavy coat with long johns and two sweaters over a heavy shirt, a GP -100 .357 magnum would be better than a 9mm..

I like them all, but I pick the gun for the job.

If I am going to have a mixed day where I am outdoors all morning but must stop for fuel and food on the way home, the .357 is my choice....again loaded with Buffalo Bore or Cor-bon flat nosed hard cast with some zip.
