[QUOTE="magna19, post: 4022714, member: 24646"] Poor replacement!!!! Revolvers or Handguns. I dont think so. Some long guns and Auto pistols are not very user friendly for some. Revolvers are the most user friendliest home defense firearm design ever. [B]Here are just a few reasons to choose a revolver[/B] With a revolver if you get a click instead of a bang you just pull the trigger again. A dry, unmaintained revolver will most likely fire more rounds then an Auto pistol in the same condition. Some Auto pistol requires mag/ammo rotation so mag spring won’t weaken. Another family member can take your revolver and continue the fight, not so ease with most Auto pistols. Revolvers are typically better for anyone with limited hand dexterity or strength and anyone who is not going to practice. Pistol slides, control levers and loading mags could be extremely difficult, under stress, if not impossible. . Minimum maintenance. Superior reliability, Can’t double feed, Fail to feed, Stovepipe, Etc. . Training on DA revolver, is well training on DA revolvers, regardless of size, caliber. Fairly cheap to practice. You can get a 22 rimfire revolver to practice with. Fewer shots necessary to prove reliability. How many people have fired a few hundred rounds of FMJ ammo and decided to try the defense HP they bought to find out they wouldn’t feed or cycle without issues. Wider ammo choice. Revolver will feed and FIRE any ammo in the correct caliber. It is NOT ammo sensitive as in Autoloader. Misfires are easily corrected (PULL the Trigger again) Much easier for beginners. (I don’t care what you say) An inexperience shooter (even an experienced shooter) may even hit the mag release button under pressure. Most people don’t realize what pressure is really like (heart rate, panic, deciding on real threat or not) during home defense situations. You can’t load a round backwards. Easier to unload and make safe.. Did I mention NO LIMP WRIST PROBLEMS. LoL There are grips available for revolvers for a better fit to your hand. Less likely to accidental discharge with its DA trigger NO MATTER HOW COMPETENT YOU ARE. [B]Revolvers are Efficient[/B] The revolver’s first advantage is efficiency; the revolver requires no manipulation of the gun beyond operating the trigger in order to fire. There are no extra buttons or levers to push, which means that there are no buttons or levers to forget to push. For most new shooters the more complicated something is, the easier it is to forget something when you’re distracted. Even highly-trained and experienced shooters forget to deactivate the safety on their auto pistols when faced with a new and distracting shooting challenge. [B]Revolver Reliability[/B] Another major attribute of the revolver is reliability; the revolver will generally have a longer mean time between failures than that of even the best autoloaders, meaning that it will shoot more rounds without having mechanical issues that affect its operation. Of course that’s not to say that revolvers never malfunction, only that they do so less often than a self-loading handgun. Part of that reliability is the fact that the revolver will shoot a much wider variety of ammunition. With an autoloader it’s necessary to thoroughly test the gun with any specific type of ammunition because they are somewhat picky about bullet weight, shape, and velocity. Many experts say that an autoloader should be tested with 200 rounds of any ammunition that you expect to use (which today would run into an awful lot of money). [B]Revolvers Will Fit Anyone[/B] The revolver, can get a good fit simply by changing the grips. Because the revolvers’ grip size and shape isn’t dictated by the need to fit a magazine, there is much more leeway in how big or how small the grip can be made. In many cases it’s possible to take a revolver which doesn’t fit the shooter well, make a grip change and end up with a combination that works well. This is true regardless of whether the gun is too small or too big for the hands. Larger and smaller grips are available, and in extreme cases it’s possible for a gunsmith to modify the grip frame to make an even greater change. [B]Revolvers Don’t Use Mags[/B] Of course, there are no magazines necessary to operate the revolver, which is an often-unappreciated advantage. Magazines are a weak spot for the auto loading pistol some are fragile, and can wear out. [B]The Revolver Trigger is Heavy[/B] A very real advantage in an adrenalin-charged incident is the long and heavy trigger offered by the revolver. In the confusion of a defensive shooting, there is the very real possibility that fingers will stray into the trigger guard, and there are enough videos of trained police officers inadvertently discharging rounds when in a tense situation sometimes resulting in death. I would never suggest relying on a heavy trigger as a safety device, but must also acknowledge that it does provide another layer of protection to even the best safety habits. [/QUOTE]
