Hood Rats run in packs, and no one who was ever in a gun fight ops to carry less ammo after the fact. I carry the gun that I shoot best and can still carry concealed all day, which for me is an S&W Model 13, FBI configuration (three inch bull barrel, round butt frame). With regular range sessions (once a week, minimum) I can shoot an automatic just as well, but can't afford that much ammo, so I choose the handgun that I shoot most naturally, requiring the least range time and ammo expenditure to remain highly proficient.

Can someone cite a case where a civilian concealed carrier was able to perform a tactical reload during a shootout? I've heard that there's never been such a recorded case. Perhaps one should take something from the old west, carry two guns. Yeah, the kind that never run out of ammo.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

And there was the home invasion here in Colorado where Grandma emptied 3 revolvers hitting multiple assaliants on her way to her shotgun. I was actually referring to reloading a single weapon in the midst of a gunfight.

All silliness aside, this is what I carry most of the time... Charter Arms .44 Spcl.. full of the Blazer ammo with the 200gr. Gold-Dots. A guy swapped it to me for CAD work I did. He already bobbed the hammer. I installed a front sight so it would hit what you were pointing at. It hits good at 7 yards, isn't too bulky. In Winter I can carry it in a coat pocket. It's controllable but has a Big bark. Only 5 shots, so I carry a speed-loader in the truck with an extra 5 And if it gets stolen in the truck, I'm not out a ton. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b531/muzzle-blast/Charter_zps5569369c.jpg)

I was actually referring to reloading a single weapon in the midst of a gunfight. If she had stopped to reload her revolver, she would of been dead. If she had a Glock 19, she would of still had 2 rounds left and could of reloaded in about the same time it took her to change guns. Regardless, she used more the 6, and for the normal shooter a semi-auto is easier easier and quicker to reload.

I've got two of those, myself. Love the concept. For some reason, though, I can't get myself to carry a handgun that I don't feel at least a little sentimental about, as I do my old S&W blued steel revolvers. It could be that one will shoot a handgun he feels sentimental about better than one he doesn't. Well, maybe, anyway. All I know is that I don't like carrying an ugly gun.

Were the revolvers .22s?

It could be that one will shoot a handgun he feels sentimental about better than one he doesn't. perhaps a Master's degree in psychology will help you sort that out. Well, maybe, anyway. All I know is that I don't like carrying an ugly gun. Nevermind. You're just shallow and superficial.

The laughter has worked wonders, not only to my BP, but the occasional convulsions have helped me perfect bladder control despite the history of prostate issues. Every time I have to tinkle, I think of you... Thanks!

Pira 114 pretty much sums it up.
Thinking that you can predict the factors of an attack is pure fantasy.
Missing your target is unacceptable. I wouldn't want Mickey shooting at me w/ anything.
Any gun that is reliable is better than nothing.
Choosing a carry gun because it is easy to carry is intellectual and physical laziness.
