I'm certainly fine with another person carrying their firearm any way they wish. And I can understand you getting tired of being beaten up over an empty chamber.
However ... an attack is just that. An attack. And it's likely to come out of ambush where you will need the nanosecond reflex. There's just case after case after case where an attack comes in the split second when a person is walking through a doorway, getting in or out of a car or some other moment when their attention is divided.
I know it's all moot now that you've gone to a revolver but I would not count on being alert and aware enough to see an ambush coming, however small the likelihood.
