I'm 67 and all my handguns are revolvers dating to the 60's and early 70's, with the exception of a recent 640-1(NL). When I shoot my friends Glock it feels like the toy gun I had as a kid. I can shoot it well, it's reliable and functional, but still......many of the young people I see on the range have never held a revolver, let alone shot one. But that's OK. Times change, as does technology. If I were a new LEO I'd want a pistol with as many rounds as I could carry (back when, we had 6 in the revolver and 12 on the belt, now they can carry 3X than many). I wonder if, 40 years from now, will people hold their Glocks and feel the same way we do about our revolvers? Or are our guns becoming like computers, something to use and discard as they get old and "outdated"?
