Personally I prefer a semi auto for self defensive use. More rounds, easier to carry extra magazines than speed loaders and I can reload them faster
Certainly as a primary, but what about a pocket gun? Still semi-auto?
For me yes the semi is flatter and reloads faster for me than does the revolver and since I prefer 1911's the trigger pull is always better than a revolvers double action pull
Perhaps you missed that I was speaking of pocket guns.
