Guys I was thinking a semi-auto would be the way to go since these types of handguns seem so popular. I was looking at the pink digital camo Walther P-22. Why the revolver recommendation?
Thanks
Revolvers are super simple to operate. When the SHTF, you want something that's easy to operate at every level. That's the beauty of the double action revolver. If your wife and daughter were gun nuts, and just loved to shoot and fool with guns, then I'd say you could look into the semiauto of your choice. Otherwise it's the revolver, hands down. When it comes to life saving equipment, you want to KISS (keep it simple, stupid). That's because your IQ tends to dramatically drop when you're confronted with a sudden life threatening situation and you make mistakes that you would never make in practice. Therefore you want to minimize the range of possible mistakes. The double action revolver does just that.
