I'll take a semi auto over a revolver every time. The Sig P365 is small, easy to shoot well and has plenty of magazine capavity


NDs with autos often occur because folks think they've unloaded the gun when they haven't.

DA revolvers are much simpler. If you can push the cylinder latch and swing the cylinder out, you can tell if it's loaded or unload it and make it safe. It also requires less manipulation to go from Safe to Ready. Poke the damn thing full of bullets and close the cylinder.

There are lots of people out there who are never going to be 4th degree black belt martial artists with a handgun. In the end it's about familiarity with the gun you have, attaining basic marksmanship skills and having the wherewithal to shoot a SOB to the ground right now when the situation warrants it.
