Question for you.
What was the rationale given (if one ever was) for dis-allowing snubby .38 revolvers as back-ups?
I know of at least two incidents where an FBI agent suffered a malfunction of his semi-auto during a contact struggle with a bad guy; no fault of the agents, just an easily-induced problem with ANY semi-auto. The revolver does not have this problem, generally.
I was a panel member and presenter at the '93 Wound Ballistics Seminar at Quantico, so I know how anal the Bureau is about keeping records of such things. Those of us in the non-federal training community were flabbergasted when we heard of the edict... what in the world were they thinking?????
