I can understand why someone who doesn't do a lot of shooting, doesn't want to spend the time to feel comfortable with operating a semiauto and doesn't do concealed carry would choose a revolver for home defense but can't understand choosing one otherwise.
Anyone questioning the advantage of faster reloading and large capacity magazines should look up the Newhall Incident. 50 years ago two career criminals with plenty of firepower quickly killed four California Highway Patrol Officers armed with revolvers. Another incident where firepower and plenty of ammo were a factor was the Miami/Dade FBI shootout in 1986 that resulted in Two FBI agents dead and five wounded.
