With hit ratios under the 50% mark in many LEO shootings, a 5 or 6 shot revolver does not sound like an appealing primary carry gun for a civilian. Especially if you face more than one attacker which is not outside the realm of possibilities. Attackers generally don't fall over after the first shot hits them, at at 50% or less hit ratio you'll burn through a cylinder full of ammo and be looking for a speed strip or speed loader in a matter of seconds.

I prefer a j-frame for a BUG over a microsized semi auto, but for my primary carry weapon I want to carry a duty size weapon that fits my hands and that I shoot well that has as many rounds on board as possible.

There has never been a person who had to defend their life with a gun who afterwards said "I wish I had a smaller gun with less rounds in it".

These are just my reasonings for carry a full size semi auto, if you choose a revolver that doesn't mean you're wrong and I'm right, it just means we disagree but can still be friends.

Good day and be safe out there!
