Revolvers as CCW guns?

[Adam Helmer]

I wonder what the opinions are about revolvers as CCW guns? The law enforcement community has pretty much gone to the semis for duty use, but some think revolvers still have their place with civillians.

As a firearms instructor, I begin novices on revolvers and transition to semis. Most of my students buy revolvers as their first gun. I like old Smith revolvers and Colt 1911automatics and feel comfortable carrying either. What do other CCW folks think and what do you carry?
