I've got to agree with Silversnake. I retired from the job when the transition was being made from revolvers to semi autos. Being an FBI trained and certified firearms instructor, I was all for the change only because of the large round capacity. 15 rounds is better in a gun fight than 6. That being said, if it's only a few rounds difference or the same amount, I'll take the reliability of the revolver any day. I'm long retired (29 years) so I really don't have a need for a high capacity semi, but I do occasionally carry them. However, I carry big bore snubbies often in cooler weather. I feel they are more reliable and accurate.
