which is preferred for carry..

[splojo]

A semi-automatic pistol or a revovler?

 

[esrice]

More info needed. LOTS more.

But for argument's sake-- a semi-auto.

 

[splojo]

just general...

 

[SSGSAD]

I did not vote, I carry BOTH ..... sometimes, at the same time .....

 

[Benny]

Nothing is going to be more reliable than a revolver, but I carry a semi-auto(G19 to be exact).

Like esrice said, much more info is needed.

 

[sgreen3]

Not really a good answer to that question.

^^^+1 For me, It depends on the type of shirt/jacket/ etc..

 

[ARdysfunction]

I have never trained enough with a revolver to be proficient in it use.
So for my self the choice is easy... a pistol will always perfered.

That is of course if a rifle isn't handy.

And really I can not see many circumstances where a revolver would hold enough advantages to chose it over a pistol.

I agree, but I can think of two advantages a revolver has over a semi-auto.

1) In situations where the muzzle comes into contact with the target, a revolver can't be pushed out-of-battery.

2) In situations where you might want to retain your fired casings a revolver won't eject them. (you know. . . . reloaders. . . not murderers. . . . )

Glock 26.

(you know. . . . reloaders. . . not murderers. . . . )

LMAO!!!

 

[Amattern]

Semi-auto because i don't own a revolver. But if I did I would still more than likely carry the semi-auto just because I'm already so comfortable with it.

 

[686 Shooter]

I prefer a revolver, I always carry a pocket pistol and almost always have a revolver within arms length away, (Truck, car, end table, nightstand, etc..).

 

[Paco Bedejo]

Revolvers are much more reliable, but have shorter barrels for similar sized form-factors...which means less FPS for similar cartridges...which can be counteracted by using larger cartridges because the cartridges aren't constrained by the grip's size...

So the answer is "yes"...

 

[maxmayhem]

I have had more failures with revolvers than my Glock 19 and Glock 26....Zero failure with the glock and more than double the chances to hit --10-12 with ext mag on g26 and 15-30 shots with the 19...would like to have a good snubbie smith and wesson though...it would most likely do the job

 

[indytechnerd]

I think the midsize (k-frame) S&W revolvers are probably the best firearm in the world for home defense. Point and shoot, that's all ya gotta do. Having said that, I own (and carry) a G23, so what do I know.

1 word 357 Magnum I usually carry a semi though

 

[CalebToNowhere]

1911 Ultra Carry. Still small, with more ammunition.

 

[Pocketman]

J-Frame is my favorite, but often carry a skinny semi-auto in warmer weather.

 

[68_F100]

Semi Kimber ultra carry to be exact.
