Handguns have been flying off the shelves of late, seems like very many of the purchasers ain’t gun people, most will never take a class, more’n a few won’t even go to a range more’n once if they go at all. Listen to the questions they ask at purchase and watch the way they handle the gun like it’s some alien object.

And if they are like that, imagine rest of the people in their household.

So that handgun, loaded or not, is gonna sit around their house for years in a drawer somewhere.

Under those circumstances I’d prefer it was a revolver simply because you can see it’s loaded when you pick it up.

As noted, Sami-autos far outnumber K-frame revolvers on the shelves now, but j-frames are hanging in there.
