[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3648250, member: 35036"] I carry a revolver when I want the extra firepower or flexibility of carrying snake shot when I am hunting/fishing. By firepower I mean carrying my SW 610 (10mm) when I’m hunting squirrels and might see a hog or aggressive stray dog. It’s typically carried cross body draw, which is more comfortable and not as in the way/heavy as my 4.5” XDM with 15+1rds of 10mm. In the woods of Oklahoma that just seems like a lot of extra to carry around. but to ride on what okierider said, if I needed more than 2-3 rounds when in combat, it was because I was using the surplus of ammo for suppressive fire. That’s not something I want to do when carrying as a civilian. And to be realistic, if you confront several armed bad guys alone, you’re more than likely going to get stabbed or shot by one of the ones you haven’t shot (or maybe have shot if you aren’t obscenely accurate and cool under pressure) before you empty a revolver. Cold hard truth sadly. I find the capacity argument to be moot, however, I typically carry a G48 with 10+1 with a shield arms S15 15 rounder as backup, and if I’m carrying full size it’s an HK with 21 rounds at my disposal. I’m a better, faster shot with both than I am my revolvers. Situation is the ultimate dictator of what you carry, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
