I've carried both, on and off duty. I "grew up" with revolvers, and I find them simple, reliable, and versatile- .38 target wadcutters or .357 magnum hollowpoints out of the same gun. Maybe even in the same cylinder! I'm comfortable with a revolver, especially one with my favorite Herrett's stocks. Just as a side note- I had to qualify at the range last night. I did "okay" with my duty gun, a .45 Para LDA, but I shot 7 points higher (on the same course) with my off-duty gun: a model 442 with HKS speedloaders. (If the department would let me, I'd still carry my model 65 as a duty gun!)
