I can't get over how many young guys I meet on the job who have never even shot a revolver. Many of them have told me I'm the only guy they've ever seen carry a revolver. Part of the reason they think the revolver is obsolete is because they've never seen one really used.
A good example was my last requal. In a timed drill I drew my 65-3 and fired 24 rounds in 24 seconds. I could have done better, but pulling the last speedloader out of a pants pocket cost me a couple of seconds. Several guys came up to me later and told me that until they watched me they didn't believe a revolver was capable of that kind of performance. None of them were going to trade their Glocks and M&P's for a K frame, but the condescending remarks about revolvers stopped.
