I concur wholeheartedly.

One other factor you did not mention was in close quarters if you press a semi auto against a B/G's body you can knock the pistol out of battery and end up with a firearm that will not fire. A revolver will always work.

another good reason is in case of a jam. With a semi auto you have to rack the slide or drop the magazine. and/or both. With a revolver you just keep cycling, pressing the trigger.

Revolvers take a lot less education to shoot well.

Your reference to the new generation of pistols is a good one. They have far too many baubles, bangles and beads as far as I'm concerned. People can/have been trained to use them well, but it's a mind bending long process of training.

I did carry 1911's during two endeavors in my lifetime and they served me well. I'm still here ain't I? But I am happier with a wheel gun.

Just my 2¢.
