I'm interested in your reasons for owning a revolver. As there are so many reliable pistols out there that are more than enough for most encounters, what are your reasons for sticking with the "old faithfuls"?
I currently own only one revolver, a circa '64 S&W 4"bbl Model 10. My reasons for owning it are that it isn't for me primarily, although if it's all that was available when I need it I'd not hesitate to grab it up. But it's primarily for the other members of the household to use if necessary.
You see, as much as I have tried to get my wife and daughters into guns, I just cannot ignite their interest to my level. So upon realizing my futile efforts and testing them on their knowledge and efficiency with auto-loaders time and again I have realized that the safest, simplest most reliable and recoil friendly handgun they could effectively use was the revolver.
I also can't discount the fact that I just have a personal liking towards them, there's just something about them that makes you feel "empty" without one.
Now that I have divulged my reasons for owning a revolver, what are yours?
