For CCW, isn't a revolver a very good choice"

Great points. My snubby is my primary daytime carry arm. Im even thinking of geting a Deringer for "deep cover" carry, and as a backup for my semi auto. If someone feels handicap cause their handgun doesnt have gizzmos like tritium night sights, or whatever. Their only real handicap is a lack of practice/training. Myself, I only care if the firearm goes "bang" every time!


To be honest, I have alot of faith in my Glock, so I am in the "semi auto club". But I totaly realise that hi-cap semmi autos, does not have an advantage in a self defence shooting over a wheel gun. Seriously, how many armed BGs can I realy handle at once? Heres what Lieutenant Colonel Cooper has to say about high caps. This also suports the argument for wheelguns

“It has never been clear to me why increased magazine capacity in a defensive pistol is particularly choice. The bigger the magazine the bigger the gun, and the bigger the gun the harder it is to get hold of for people with small hands. And what, pray, does one need all those rounds for? How many lethal antagonists do you think you are going to be able to handle? Once when Bruce Nelson was asked by a suspect if the thirteen-round magazine in the P35 was not a big advantage, Bruce's answer was, "Well, yes, if you plan to miss a lot." The highest score I know of at this time achieved by one man against a group of armed adversaries was recorded in (of all places) the Ivory Coast! There, some years ago, a graduate student of mine laid out five goblins, with four dead and one totaled for the hospital. Of course there is the episode of Alvin York and his eight, but there is some dispute about that tale. (If you read it over very carefully you will see what I mean.) Be that as it may, I see no real need for a double column magazine. It is all the rage, of course, and like dual air bags, it is a popular current sales gimmick.”

BTW: What do you guys mean by "grooved"?
