[QUOTE="Jesse Pinkman, post: 2252413, member: 31139"] This may not make a lot of sense, but here goes. I love several of my Single-Action revolvers, and have at times carried one in the car or set it on the night-stand. I'm confident it could be relied on if needed. And most home-invasion scenarios are over quickly. Regardless of how many perps, in most accounts I've read about or seen on the news, after one gets shot, the others tend to flee. However, if the family is in the house with me, I would never put the Single-Action on guard duty. With a 17-round 9mm and 870 readily available, it would simply be irresponsible. If ANYTHING went wrong, someone that relies on me could get hurt, and then how could I live with myself knowing I ran out of shots, or didn't make a fast enough follow up shot, when I had a semi-auto handgun in the safe? So for me, solo-Single Action okay. When protecting others-not okay. Kind of like how we enjoying riding motorcycles, but always transport the family in an SUV with the seat belts fastened. [/QUOTE]
