I've been shooting wheel guns for the past 30 years and during that time, have tried auto's just twice. of the two auto's, only my Colt 1911 remains but just this week at the range, I was the only one shooting revolvers. Every other mother's son was blasting away at less than ten (10) feet with an auto. And 100% of the range staff has an auto strapped to his/her hip so it seems the younger crowd still leans toward auto's.
