Because I dont like progress. Seriously, I own a highly worked over remington rand by packmyer. I hardly look at it. I have owned 6 or 8 other types through the years. They just never turned me on. Unless I am in a banaazi attack I probley feel more sure of myself with my revolvers. I could write pages on this. I think a lot of my mentality on this stems from a youngster up it was revolvers, both in actual training and the movies. My dad was a very conservative gunman, wouldnt have a auto anything. He didnt belive in spray and pray, and I dont. Also a the newer generation of autos I hate the plastic and gadgets. Its partialy a generation gap image. I have owned lugars, smith 39s, radom, browning HP, some colts etc. They are gone. My revolvers aint!
Maybe its because I used to reload and didnt like getting on my knees hunting brass. We could go on and on.
