I'm going to try again.
I took a bit of flak on my original post when I stated:
Do it if you want to,,,
This is free America after all,,,
You may do pretty much what you want.
But don't try to justify your personal preference as a preferable thing.
And don't use the reason that you shoot them better,,,
That just tells me you haven't practiced enough with a SA/DA revolver.
C'mon people,,,
You know better than this.
I did a poor job of conveying my point which is simply this,,,
If you want to carry a SA revolver for self defense,,,
Do it and don't let anyone tell you not to.
I often carry a semi-auto pistol that is older than my 64 years,,,
And I've been in some very spirited conversations about my choice of gun,,,
But in all of them I have simply stated my reasons and don't ask others to agree with me.
What I don't like in the hundreds of threads I've read on this topic,,,
Is when someone tries to justify it by attempting to argue that it's somehow as good.
Carry the type of gun that you want to,,,
Practice with it until you are as good as Bob Munden,,,
This is America and you are allowed to make your own decisions.
But trying to sway others to your way of thinking,,,
Just to give a little more validity to your personal decision,,,
Is a practice that does no one on these forums any kind of good service.
I love SA revolvers,,,
I own five and shoot them regularly,,,
And if one was closer than my EDC when I needed it,,,
I would not hesitate to grab it and try to defend my home and self.
But it's not the preferable choice by any means,,,
And it's poor advice to try and convince someone otherwise.
Carry what you want as long as you have confidence in it,,,
You don't need anyone's approval of your choice.
