Cover and concealment are a thing. One should really know the difference between the two. One may stop a bullet, the other will not.

I think a lot of people opt for revolvers because of their simplicity. Double action revolver shooting is much more difficult to master. A better revolver (e.g., a three inch, round butt, Model 13 S&W) likely would have been a far better choice than a Chief Special, if one prefers a revolver. If you say so. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/xvQFz6p.jpg)

As for mastering a double action revolver I don't see that as a big problem. Shoot a couple of hundred rounds through it every year just like you should any carry pistol. That's very easy to type out on the internet. If you say so.

[quote=lvmiker. I believe there are members here that could have solved that problem w/ a 2" revolver but not the majority. Most competent shooters would not choose that weapon for an EDC. YMMV mike r[/quote] If you say so.

Running out from behind the car and into the open was his fatal flaw... I can't blame him for REALLY wanting to kill that bastard. To leave cover with a partially expended small revolver was, inadvisable...

if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

As for mastering a double action revolver I don't see that as a big problem. Shoot a couple of hundred rounds through it every year just like you should any carry pistol. Agreed. Not hard to master, if you're willing to put in the effort. Double or single action, just takes a little effort at the range. Jokers dissin' DA revolvers ought remember that a lot of autojammers are DA also. My first handgun was a Ruger SB and it was also the first I handloaded for. Worked out ok to my way of thinking. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/fOP6vCE.jpg) You gotta ask yourself a question. Do you feel lucky?
