Revolvers are Forever Liked.

[Adam Helmer]

Yes, Revolvers are 19th Century technology, but several of my CCW students told me they like revolvers very much, especially .22 caliber revolvers. As an instructor of Newbees, I prefer revolvers for inital training. I use both DA S&W .22 revolvers and a Ruger Mark I and Mark II .22 semi-auto pistols. Many new trainees forget a semi-auto pistol is "ready to fire" after the first shot. They let the pistol droop down until it usually points to their leg or foot! I tell them endlessly "Never let any handgun drop below 45 Degrees below the line of sight!" Of course they forget and need constant reminding.

Most of my CCW class graduates opt for a DA revolver as their House/Carry gun. The most popular are OLD S&W M10 and M15 revolvers. The newer S&W revolvers are equipped with the "lockout gizmo" that is not popular. The results of my CCW classes has been that ALL old S&W 2-inch M10 and M15 revolvers "fly" off the shelf the day they hit the local gunshop. I do have a bid in for a 2-inch M15 for my Priest.
