The only worry I ever had about carrying a revolver was the limited rounds it could hold. I loved the reliability of it going bang any time the trigger was pulled. I never feel 100% secure with a semi auto, but like knowing I have lots of bullets. I was fast enough with a speed loader to notice that at the range I could reload my revolver as fast and one could reload his semi auto. I never trust the semi auto to keep firing after the first round and I worry that in a shoot out I might be so nervous that I cant reload. Having had a few real shootouts, I can say I fired as few as one and as many as six....and like Dirty Harry in all the confusion I could not remember if I had fired five or six.....the last bad guy didnt press his luck....I was happy about that....He also did not want to know and I did not tell him...that particular night I had nothing to reload with either.....and that my friends was a wake up call.....
