For those of you who choose to carry a revolver instead of a semi-auto on a regular basis, what are your reasons for doing so?
I anticipate self-defending in a scenario where I am rolling around on the ground with a dude on top of me, or something similarly chaotic. Given such conditions, a revolver feels more trusty. I have yet to have a revolver malfunction, but I have had countless auto jams.For those of you who choose to carry a revolver instead of a semi-auto on a regular basis, what are your reasons for doing so?
Dang. Never thought about that. And I do this stuff for a living!Because when the cops finally show up, I don't want to have to explain 1) where I was standing for each shell case laying around, 2) what I was thinking for each shell case laying around, 3) where the bad guy was for each shell case laying around, 4) what the bad guy was doing for each sell case laying around, 5) which was may 1st shot based on the shell cases laying around, 6) which was my second shot based on the shell cases laying around, 7) etc, etc, etc. Been there, done that, not fun.
I like to practice often. I shoot often. I like to reload. I catch my empties in my hand and dump them in my trapshooting empty hull bag on my belt.
I like to share ammo with my carbine.

I choose revolvers most of the time......however, not all the time.

I like options.
I do keep a Glock nearby (in my vehicle, mostly) and I can foresee me having my PC Carbine in the car with the Glock.
But for on my person carry, it will be my 442 if I am concealing it.
I did forget to mention above that if I can open carry legally and without being in heavy public areas, of threat threat is 2 legged I carry my 8-shot S&W 327 Night Guard .357 Magnum. If the threat is possibly 4 legged and very large, like these creatures called “bears” that everyone seems to fret about, I carry my original model Ruger Vaquero in .45 Colt regardless of whether or not I have a long gun.
PS: I do not like open carrying at stores and such where there are a lot of people.

Yielding a revolver scares the bejusus out of other people. They are used to seeing people and cops with auto loaders. The two scariest weapons to most people
