This isnt my first armed gig. I am well trained with both calibers. Nobody will ever take a gun away from me. As a security officer I have no more rights than joe blow on the street. I can only use it in self defense or defense of someone else in mortal danger. I know all the rules.
I was just curious about responses to the question. Responses were what I expected.
I am a wheel gun guy. I have shot Glocks, Smith, CZ and several other semi's. I have even owned several very good semi's, but no longer.
Nothing wrong with any of them. They are all very good weapons.
However, I believe most people overreact to what would really happen in a shooting scenario. Is 17 to 20 rds in your weapon really an advantage? Most will say, duh, of course it is. However, in the real world, gunfights are almost always at very close range, only last seconds and usually way less than 17 rds are fired. Most bad guys are cowards. A well placed round in any caliber will end the fight right then and there. A wheel gun is statistically more reliable than a semi. Less moving parts, less chance for failure.
So, I carry a 7 shot, SS, 4", .357 revolver with +p. 38 ammo and three speedloaders.
