This is like 9mm versus 45 ACP. Before hey shoot, rookies like the 16-17 rounds of the 9mm wonder guns - it just seemed obvious I did too. After some familiarity and comparison, it was more obvious that if you were new to firearms and/or were not going to drill frequently with your gun, a revolver freed you from thinking about cycling problems or the safety under pressure. I understand that revolvers can fail too, but I have never seen it, and I see semi-autos fail to fire in the hands of new shooters every class. If you seriously train this can all be overcome, but I do not think the average concealed handgun carrier drills much. I recommend revolvers to people who have a gun to have a gun.
