For Heaven’s sake, ditch the revolver and get a semi-automatic. You’ll be much better protected.

A matter of opinion.

At least he carries.

I once had an instructor who was a revolver fan -- a crusty old guy with an unwavering aim. Not one person told him he needed an autoloader.

Every once in awhile I like to carry my Smith wheel gun. To each their own.

A revolver is a fine weapon for a man who doesn’t get rattled and who expects no more than six attackers at once.

I have seen some pretty fast reloads with a revolver. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FbUMqoyjDw 16 rounds in four seconds with a reload using a speed loader in a revolver.

Owning a revolver means you never have to “police brass”.
Pistole of choice.

I carry one every day. What exactly am I doing wrong?

In close quarters an attacker can push a slide out of battery, and you’ll never get a round off. Can’t do that to a hammerless revolver.

I have both. Many of both. I carry a little 380 because of the weight. I would be as well served with a 5 shot .38 revolver.....plus my revolvers have NEVER failed to shoot. Can’t say that about my auto loading handguns.

Plus If you need more than 5 shots you’re probably already dead
