Sorry SaxonPig,..but I have to stand with aryfrosty on this one.
In my sixty years, I have on many occasions carried a SA concealed, ...and wouldn't hesitate to do so again if the need,...or desire to do so presented,.....and I've never felt undergunned with an SA revolver any more than I do when I am carrying a 5 shot J frame.
If a person is comfortable with the SA, practices with it, and knows it's limitations,..AND theirs,...who's to say it's not right for THEM. It may not be what YOU would choose,...or me either for that matter,..and there may well be better choices out there for sure,..... But at the end of the day,.... it's an individuals choice. It's neither right,...nor wrong.
If I decided that I was going to carry an admittedly slow to reload,...and "slow to get a second and subsequent shot on target SA",,...that'd be my choice. And if I ever have to use it in a gunfight,....well,...I don't figure on reloading anyways. If it ain't done in six,.. slow and for sure,..I may have to use it as a club,.....but they'll danged sure know I was there.
As I close here,...my old Pop never owned any other kind of handgun,...but he was pretty fast,... AND pretty good,... with his old Colt SAA in 45LC,...good enough that I've seen him stand his ground with it,... when others turned tail and scooted,....and I sure wouldn't want to be one to be standing in front of any man, ...or any woman,... that is that good with one.
as always,...that's MY 2 cents worth,....ymmv
